Sunday morning as police briefed the media on a mass shooting that happened overnight, CBS 2 cameras stumbled upon a notice outside the 25th Police District some find concerning. It notified the community about an apparent measles outbreak inside the station, and added that those entering the building are putting themselves at risk. The notice stated,"This facility has been contaminated by a measles outbreak. By entering, you are agreeing to accept this risk.
CBS 2 has learned from police sources that there have been three cases reported at the 25th District. Sources say that a supervisor sent out a message to staff alerting them about the cases. It's unclear when exactly that happened, and CBS 2 is still working to confirm those cases with health officials.
"It's helpful to know that symptoms can, after you are exposed to the measles, you have about a 10 to 14-day window of incubation before symptoms can appear. So that is a very important thing to let the public know because it won't show up immediately after exposure," said epidemiologist Dr. Katrine Wallace, with the University of Illinois at Chicago.
