UPDATE::Disneyland measles outbreak: Infected man took 2 flights before diagnosis - LA Times

A wave of measles cases traced to Disneyland threatens to spread farther. An unvaccinated California resident infected in the outbreak traveled by plane between Orange County and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport during the holidays, health officials said.

The airline passenger, a woman in her 20s, fell ill after visiting Disneyland in December and became contagious on Dec. 28. She flew from Orange County to Seattle on Dec. 29, stayed with family in Washington's Snohomish County and returned to Orange County on Jan. 3. She wasn't diagnosed until Jan. 8 in California, health officials in Washington state said.

The passenger flew to Seattle on Alaska Airlines Flight 505 on Dec. 29, a Washington health official said. She returned to Orange County on Jan. 3 on Virgin America Flight 1780.

There are now 22 cases in California of measles related to the Disneyland outbreak, in the counties of Alameda (3), Los Angeles (3), Orange (9), Riverside (2), San Bernardino (2), San Diego (2), and Ventura (1). Of the cases in L.A. County, one each occurred in the cities of Long Beach and Pasadena, which have their own health departments.

Measles patients who were infected after attending Disneyland visited the theme park between Dec. 17 and Dec. 20, and anyone who would have picked up the virus during that time frame should have shown illness by Jan. 10. But officials are anticipating that people who contracted measles at Disneyland could have spread it to those who did not attend the theme park during that week in December.
