The Indiana State Department of Health has confirmed a person infected with the measles visited the Super Bowl Village at some point last week, where an estimated 250,000 people were throughout the day. The person is believed to have visited Friday.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local health officials were notified Monday.

It is not clear when the infected individual visited the Super Celebration, but the person did not go to any of the indoor events like the NFL Experience.

Since Tuesday, health officials have been working to head off the potential threat. Officials have gathered information and put together a timeline on when and where that person was inside the Super Bowl Village.
