Measles Resurfaces in Georgia | Atlanta News

Measles is back in Georgia—with a new case confirmed in metro Atlanta, bringing the year’s total to seven. The patient is unvaccinated and has no known exposure, raising alarms. Earlier this month, three others tested positive after contact with a Fulton County case, confirming the virus is spreading locally. Highly contagious, measles lingers in air and surfaces for hours, with symptoms appearing 7–14 days later: fever, cough, runny nose, then the classic rash. Health officials stress: the MMR vaccine is your best—and only—defense, protecting you and vulnerable populations. If you’re sick with measles-like symptoms, call your doctor. If you’re a provider and suspect a case, alert public health immediately. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
