The man then traveled to Terminal A and boarded a flight to Quebec. Guests who were at the Newark airport between 5 p.m. local time on May 29 and 3:30 p.m. on May 30 are the target of the health warning.

As for passengers on the same flights as the man with measles, they will be notified by health officials and instructed on what they should do as a result. Any traveler who thinks they may have been exposed is urged to call a health care provider.

Doctors will work out a plan for patients with possible measles infections to avoid any further exposure to other patients and medical staff. Symptoms include rash, high fever, cough, runny nose, red watery eyes, pneumonia and swelling of the brain.
