Health officials say the individual was exposed to measles when an out-of-state traveler who was infectious visited Fayette County between Dec. 31 and Jan. 2.
The state public health department is supporting the Fayette County Health Department and others as they contact individuals believed to have been exposed.
Anyone exposed to measles should monitor themselves for 21 days after the potential infection. Symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and rash.
For now, health officials say the risk to the broader public remains low.
