Health officials in Camden County, N.J., have identified one confirmed case of measles and at least two locations at health care facilities where others may have been exposed.
The origins of the infection are not yet known, officials said Friday night. There is no immediate evidence that the case is connected to the ongoing measles outbreak in Philadelphia.
“Given the serious consequences of measles and the ease with which it can be spread, we will be engaged in a large investigative effort centered on locating and ensuring the immune status of those individuals who may have been in contact with this patient,” Camden County Health Officer Paschal Nwako said in a statement.
County officials are working with the state Department of Health to investigate and conduct contact tracing.
The person with measles was identified as a county resident who attended a daycare, where anyone who may have been exposed has already been identified and notified.
While infectious, the person visited the following locations at specific dates and times, which is when others may have been exposed:
- Jan. 5 from 11:35 a.m. to 2:32 p.m. at Cooper University Healthcare Pediatrics, 6400 Main Street, Voorhees Township, N.J.
- Jan. 8 and 9 from 8 p.m. to 12:38 a.m. at Jefferson South Jersey Stratford Hospital emergency department, 18 Laurel Road Stratford, N.J.
Anyone exposed and infected during this window could develop symptoms as late as Feb. 2, health officials said.
Measles is a highly contagious viral disease that spreads primarily through respiratory droplets in the air. Transmission can occur for up to two hours in an enclosed space with an infected person.
Infection is typically earmarked by fever and skin rashes that appear as flat red spots on the face and body. Other symptoms can include cough, runny nose and watery eyes.

San Diego Wave FC Unveils “Balboa Park Kit”: New Community Jersey for 2026 Season – San Diego Wave Fútbol Club
Wave FC introduce all-new community kit inspired by San Diego’s Historic Balboa Park
Since 1868, Balboa Park has served as the city’s creative commons. Spanning 1,200 acres, the park is home to world-class museums, performing arts institutions, community gathering spaces, and everyday moments that define life in San Diego, from pickup soccer games to family picnics and cultural celebrations. Larger than New York’s Central Park and Chicago’s Millennium Park combined, Balboa Park represents the depth, diversity, and creative energy of the region.
Designed in collaboration with Nike, the bespoke kit draws the park’s historic architecture and vibrant tilework. The sleeve cuffs and collar feature the vibrant colors of pink, orange and blue, and patterns from Balboa Park’s tilework, translating architectural detail into wearable design.
Kaiser Permanente, who continues to serve as the official team physicians of Wave FC, is proudly featured on the front of the Balboa Park Kit for the fifth consecutive season. Additionally, San Diego based global leader in glucose management, Dexcom, the Club’s official glucose biosensing partner, is returning for the third year and will be featured on the right sleeve. The Club’s pride mark, a compass symbolizing direction, unity and purpose, is displayed on the lower left corner of the new jersey.
To celebrate the launch, San Diego Wave FC will host its 2026 Jersey Launch Event, presented by Jameson Irish Whiskey, tonight, February 26, at Plaza de Panama in Balboa Park, from 4-8 p.m. PT. The free, public event, will feature live entertainment, exclusive access to the Balboa Kit, giveaways, a Fifth Season museum experience, and community activations spotlighting leaders and organizations from across Balboa Park cultural community.
As part of the event, a portion of proceeds from the Balboa Park Kit will be donated to Forever Balboa Park, supporting the preservation, accessibility, and future of the park for generations to come. Fans can donate directly to Forever Balboa Park here. The San Diego Museum of Art will provide a complimentary gift to all Season Ticket Members at gift pickup for fans to use throughout the museum’s Centennial Celebration. Wave FC players will be in attendance throughout the evening, connecting the fans and celebrating the launch alongside the community.
Fans who purchase a Balboa Park Kit at the event or online on the day of launch will receive an exclusive Fifth Anniversary patch, commemorating the Club’s fifth season.
The Balboa Park Kit joins the Altamar Kit as part of San Diego’s full 2026 jersey collection and is now available here. Fans can select “pick up at event” for an expedited entry line at the Balboa Park event.
