State health officials are investigating a possible measles incident in the Upper Valley.

Health officials in Vermont and New Hampshire say there are currently no confirmed cases of measles in either state.

But the New Hampshire Department of Health is currently investigating the report of a foreign traveler who became infected with measles shortly after visiting the city of Hanover.

Officials say the traveler may have been potentially infectious in various public locations, including the Dartmouth College campus, between June 20 and June 22. The list of locations released by the health department is below:

• 20-22 June: Dartmouth College Campus, Hanover
• June 20 – 22: The Hanover Inn, 2 E Wheelock St., Hanover
• June 20, 3 p.m.: Hanover Scoops, 57 S Main St., Hanover
• June 20-22: Lou's Restaurant and Bakery, 30 S Main St., Hanover (one meal, date and time unknown)
• June 22: Dartmouth Coach Bus from Hanover to Boston Logan Airport (time unknown)

For people who were in the area on those days and who are neither vaccinated nor have had measles before, authorities recommend monitoring for symptoms.
These include high fever, cough, runny nose and watery eyes several days before the appearance of a rash.

Authorities are asking people who feel ill to call their doctor before seeking treatment to prevent possible spread of the virus.

According to experts, measles is a preventable disease and the vaccine against it is safe and effective.
