Health officials in Orange County have confirmed a second case of measles in an individual who visited the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim. The exposure occurred on Thursday, January 22, 2026.
The confirmation has prompted renewed public health advisories regarding the highly contagious virus. Measles spreads through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes, and viral particles can linger in a space for up to two hours after the infected individual has left. Symptoms typically appear 7 to 14 days after exposure and include high fever, cough, runny nose, watery eyes, and a distinctive red rash.
Authorities are urging anyone who was at the Disneyland parks on the specified date to review their vaccination status. Individuals who are unvaccinated, pregnant, immunocompromised, or infants under twelve months of age are at highest risk. Those who develop symptoms are advised to contact their healthcare provider by phone immediately before visiting a clinic to prevent potential spread in waiting rooms. Vaccination remains the most effective measure for prevention. Health officials continue to investigate potential exposure locations and any contacts of the infected individual.
