Texas officials warn of possible measles exposure at softball tournament in Kansas
State health officials said Thursday that more than 30 Texans could have been exposed to measles at an informal softball tournament in Wichita, Kansas, over the Fourth of July weekend.
State officials were notified of the possible exposure by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment but don’t know where in Texas the various teams reside, said a spokeswoman for the Texas Department of State Health Services.
At least three recreational softball teams from Texas were in Wichita at the South Lakes Sports Complex, officials said. Texas authorities have not identified any measles cases associated with the event, but officials are urging anyone who was at the event to call 512-776-7676.
Measles is highly contagious and can be deadly.
