Measles symptoms usually appear 7–12 days after exposure to the virus, but can take up to 21 days.
It often starts with a high fever, cough, runny nose, and red, watery eyes. About 3–5 days later, a rash develops and spreads from the face down the body.
If you have symptoms and think you may have been exposed, seek medical care. Please call ahead before arriving to help protect others.
