With widespread outbreaks of measles happening in the United States and internationally, and local cases transmitted within Los Angeles County, the chance of exposure to measles is increased at this time.
Measles
is a highly contagious viral infection that spreads from person-to-person. A person with measles can spread the disease to others even before they have any symptoms. Most people who have not been immunized against measles will get it if they have contact with the virus.
The best way to keep from getting and spreading measles is to get the measles immunization. Measles immunization is available at your doctor’s office, local pharmacy or health clinic. Public Health clinics offer no or low-cost immunizations for individuals who are uninsured or under-insured.
If you think that you or someone in your family has measles or has been exposed to measles, contact your doctor's office by phone right away. Tell them that you might have measles before you go in, so they can take steps to prevent other patients and staff from being exposed.
Symptoms
Measles can cause these signs of disease:
- High Fever (over 101°F)
- Cough
- Runny nose
- Red watery eyes
- A rash that starts on the face and spread to the rest of the body
Public Health Working for You
In response to the measles cases that have occurred in Los Angeles County, LA County Department of Public Health has mounted effective public health strategies to control the spread of this disease, including
- Identifying contacts and protecting them with active or passive immunization when possible, as well as limiting their activities when necessary to prevent possible spread to others;
- Isolating people who are infectious to prevent the spread of measles to others;
- Strongly advising not immunized individuals to receive the measles immunization; and
- Notifying the public through postings and local media of specific public locations where measles cases have occurred

Cinco de Mayo Safety Tips
Happy Cinco de Mayo!
If you are celebrating this fun and festive holiday good for you!
The celebration of many holidays involves partaking in alcoholic beverages, and when people do not plan ahead or behave responsibly, they can ruin the fun for everyone.
Enjoy the celebration but PLEASE be safe!
Below are 5 safe driving tips you need to know for Cinco de Mayo.
|
|
Plan Ahead
Before getting into your car on Cinco de Mayo, consider what your commute might be like. If you anticipate driving late at night, it is crucial that you do not drink and drive or drive while tired. Having the number of a taxi service saved on your phone, or an available ride-share app is a great way to avoid driving.
Avoid Rush Hour
If possible, avoid traveling during times of heavy traffic. Not surprisingly, most accidents occur after 7:00 p.m. Plan to celebrate in the afternoon as to be safe at home before drinking intensifies. If you are not ready to stop celebrating, continue your fun by drinking non-alcoholic beverages and eating Mexican-inspired dishes.
Watch for Pedestrians
Every year, several serious pedestrian accidents occur on Cinco de Mayo. These most often happen when both drivers and pedestrians are not watchful. Do not use your cellphone while driving and be on the look out for pedestrians not paying attention. Drive slowly in parking areas and be aware of cyclists.
Watch for Drunk Drivers
Unfortunately, many people will drive drunk on Cinco de Mayo. If you suspect that someone is drunk driving, be safe and stay as far away from them as possible. Typically, drunk drivers will swerve in and out of lanes, accelerate and decelerate recklessly, and drive with their headlights off or their windows down.
Be Aware of DUI Checkpoints
When DUI offenses are historically higher, law enforcement agents will set up safety checkpoints. Since these checkpoints slow down traffic, leave early to allow yourself enough time to get to your destination and back home safely. Since checkpoints also check for driver’s licenses, be sure to have yours on hand.
