Officials sound alarm after three travelers from same international flight contract measles at Denver airport

Colorado officials are sounding the alarm after a child and two others who touched down on a flight at Denver International Airport earlier this month contracted measles.

A vaccinated adult who was onboard Turkish Airlines flight 201, which landed in Denver on May 13, was the most recent person to test positive for the infectious disease, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment announced Thursday.

Two other cases in the state have also been linked to the same flight, including an out-of-state traveler and an unvaccinated child under 5.

“Local public health agencies are contacting passengers and crew on the flight who were seated or working close to the person with measles and all lap children on the plane,” officials said in relation to the latest detection.
