Possible measles exposure at Kentucky airport, health department says
BOONE COUNTY, Ky. (WBKO) – Kentucky health officials are partnering with the Ohio Department of Health to contact individuals who may have been exposed to the measles.
This comes after the Ohio Department of Health confirmed a case of measles in a patient who lives in Ohio but traveled through the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport in Boone County, Kentucky.
They believe the airport exposure could have occurred on Jan. 27 between 5-9 p.m. and Jan. 29 between 8:30-11:30 p.m. There could also be passengers on specific flights who were exposed.
At this time, there have been no confirmed cases of measles in Kentucky this year.
“Measles is a highly contagious respiratory virus that is spread through the air,” said KDPH Commissioner Dr. Steven Stack in a news release. “Early symptoms of measles are typical of many upper respiratory illnesses – fever, cough, watery eyes, and runny nose – and proceed to the characteristic rash three to five days after symptoms begin.”
Dr. Stack added that if anyone develops symptoms that could have been exposed, they should isolate from others and seek testing. He also urged that they do not arrive at a healthcare facility without prior notice so as not to expose others.

The Brooklyn Nets have developed their teams through a number of strategies over the decades, and their front office has put together considerable success through the NBA draft. Many of the franchise’s best players have joined the Nets either by being selected directly in the annual draft or through trades made on that day.
Moreover, it is not only the star players who have been acquired by the Nets through the draft. Several prominent alumni have been selected by the team each offseason during this annual event, with certain colleges being more prominently represented than others. An analysis of the players from different schools reveals that both prestigious programs and smaller institutions have contributed top talent to the Nets’ roster over the years.
So without further ado, let’s take a look at every player who has been drafted by the Nets out of Kentucky State University.
