An individual who shopped at the Windsor King Soopers on Friday, May 30, recently tested positive for measles, according to the Weld County Department of Public Health and Environment.
The customer was in the store, 1520 Main St., from 10:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m., during the infectious period, the county said.
This is the twelfth confirmed case of measles in Colorado this year, according to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. From 2014 to 2024, the department lists just six cases.
Though the risk to others in the store at the time was low, the county asks anyone who is not vaccinated or who is immunocompromised to contact the Communicable Disease Team at 970-400-2223 for a risk assessment.
Regardless of vaccination or immune-system status, anyone who may have been at the King Soopers during that timeframe should watch for symptoms until June 20, according to the release.
Symptoms typically begin similarly to a cold and can include fever, cough, runny nose and red, watery eyes. A few days later, a red, blotchy rash will appear, usually starting on the face and neck before spreading to the rest of the body, the county said.
A person is considered infectious up to four days before the rash appears, according to the release.
The county urges people who show symptoms to isolate and reach out to their primary doctor or an urgent care facility to possibly be tested. It is important to notify the health care provider of the possible exposure so staff can take proper precautions.
The county also encourages those who are unvaccinated — or unsure of their vaccination status — to call the Department of Public Health and Environment’s Public Health Clinic at 970-400-6420 to discuss options.
