Two public health departments in Washington state and Ohio said they are looking into two separate measles cases involving people who recently came back to the United States following international travel.

In a statement, officials in King County, Washington, said that a contagious measles patient was at locations in Bellevue, Seattle, and Woodinville from June 27 to July 2, and that people who were in the vicinity of the person—identified only as an “adult”—may have been exposed to the virus.
