Detroit has a case of measles.
The Detroit Health Department says a Detroit resident who returned from overseas travel has the measles.
The person went to the emergency department at Children’s Hospital July 16, Tuesday, from 1230pm to 930pm, and went to their doctor’s office in Macomb County. So people at those two locations would have been exposed.
The department does not specify the person’s identity or the location of the doctor’s office.
