Health officials in Tuscola County have confirmed a new measles case, tied to a known exposure, and are now working to notify anyone who may have come into contact with the virus. Measles spreads easily through the air and can linger for up to 2 hours after an infected person leaves a room, with symptoms like fever, cough, and a red rash typically appearing 7 to 21 days after exposure. Officials say two doses of the MMR vaccine are about 97 percent effective.
