San Bernardino County residents have been warned they may have been exposed to someone with measles at several businesses last month.

One of six county residents with the virus went to the different locations during a three-day period last month, health officials said. The locations and dates that the infected person visited while contagious are below.

• Inland Center Auto Body, 181 South Arrowhead Avenue, San Bernardino on January 22, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., January  23, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and January  24, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

• Elgin and Fagan Bar, 336 West Highland Avenue, San Bernardino, January 22, 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m and January 24, 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

• Game Stop, 1100 South Mount Vernon Avenue, Colton on January 24, 8 p.m. to 9 p.m.

The County of San Bernardino Department of Public Health is working with the businesses to contact people who may have been exposed.

The cases are part of a fast-spreading outbreak that began at the Disneyland Resorts in December.

The latest confirmed case since Friday was in Orange County, which brought the county’s total to 28. There have been 92 cases in the state in total, according to the California Department of Public Health.

It is the largest outbreak in California since 2000, which was when the virus was officially eliminated in the United States.

Measles is a highly contagious and potentially severe disease that causes fever, rash, cough, and red, watery eyes.

It spreads very easily by air and by direct contact with an infected person. It is contagious from approximately four days before the rash appears through four days after the rash appears.
