University of Utah officials said April 9 that two people on campus have been confirmed to have measles, as the outbreak of the infectious disease continues spreading in the southwest state.

One of the cases was at A. Ray Olpin Student Union and ASUU Offices on April 7 from 2:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., the university said in an alert. That means anyone who was there at the time should monitor for measles symptoms, such as fever and cough, through April 28, it said.
