The man was known to have been at WinCo Foods on Kings Canyon and Peach in the City of Fresno on Jan. 25th from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., and at Fashion Fair Mall in the Build-A-Bear and Disney stores on Jan. 25th from 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

The yet-to-be identified man also visited the 3rd and 4th floors of Community Regional Medical Center on both Thursday, Jan. 22, at 9:00 p.m., and Sunday, Jan. 25, at 9:00 p.m., according to local news sources.

People who were in those places near those times may have contracted the measles virus, authorities said.
