DENVER — People across Grand Junction, a gas station in Fruita and travelers who flew to and from Denver International Airport last week could have been exposed to measles, state health officials said Monday.

The announcement from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) comes after state health officials confirmed an additional measles case in a Mesa County adult whose vaccination status is unknown. That individual may have had a common exposure with the first Mesa County case reported last week , CDPHE officials said.

State health officials warned Friday the highly contagious virus may be spreading undetected in the Grand Junction area after the county's first case had no connection to other cases in the state and no history of recent out-of-state travel.
