Person With Measles Went To Woodland Hills Fast Food Restaurant: Authorities

LOS ANGELES — A person with measles visited Disneyland, a fast food restaurant in Woodland Hills and other places across Southern California last week, health authorities announced Saturday, warning anyone who may have been exposed to be on the lookout for symptoms.

The person was at Goofy’s Kitchen in Disneyland Hotel from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and at Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park from 12:30 p.m. to closing on Wednesday, according to the Orange County Health Care Agency.

“People who were at these locations during the date and time listed above may be at risk of developing measles from 7 to 21 days after being exposed,” the agency said in a news release.

An international traveler, the person arrived Monday at Los Angeles International Airport’s Tom Bradley International Terminal B on Viva Aerobus flight No. 518 at gate 201A and may have exposed people at the terminal between 10:45 p.m. Monday and 1 a.m. Tuesday, according to the County of Los Angeles Public Health.

Passengers seated near the infected person will be notified, authorities said, as will Disneyland employees who may have been exposed. Affected health care facilities are notifying patients and staff about possible exposure as well.

The infected person was also at a Dunkin’ Donuts at 22020 Ventura Blvd. in Woodland Hills from 3 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. Friday, according to public health officials.

People should check their immunity status and watch for symptoms, according to authorities, who added that those who are not immunized should talk to a health care provider, and stay home and limit interactions until 21 days after the exposure.

In late 2014 and early 2015, at least 142 people from seven states came down with measles in connection with an outbreak tied to Disneyland, Patch reported at the time.

Measles is a highly contagious viral illness that spreads through the air when an infected person breathes, coughs or sneezes, officials said. It can also spread through direct contact with infectious droplets. Symptoms typically include fever, cough, runny nose and red eyes, followed by a rash that begins on the face and spreads to the body.

The latest case is the second to affect Los Angeles County in 2026 and the third to impact Orange County, authorities said.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as of Jan. 30, there have been 588 confirmed cases of measles in the U.S. By comparison, 2025 recorded 2,267 cases, the highest annual count in more than 30 years.
