A measles case was recently confirmed in Lincoln. While rare, measles is highly contagious, so awareness is important. Early symptoms can feel like a common cold before a rash appears a few days later.

If you think you may have measles or were exposed, please call your primary care provider before visiting. This helps protect patients, visitors and our care teams.

Stay informed and stay well.
