New Jersey state health authorities have initiated investigation into a possible massive measles exhibition during the Shakira concert held last Thursday at the Metlife Stadium, located in East Rutherford. According to the State Health Department, a person infected with this viral disease attended the event, generating concern for a possible outbreak. The infected person, who lives outside New Jersey, was present at the concert between 7:30 pm of May 15 and 1:00 am the next day, a period in which the event was held and the exit of the enclosure. The authorities have urged those who attended the show to be attentive to possible symptoms and to contact their doctor before going to any health installation, in order to minimize the risk of propagation. Measles, a highly contagious disease that is transmitted by air, has not generated new cases reported in New Jersey so far. The symptoms, which include fever, cough, nasal secretion, ocular inflammation, throat pain and the characteristic red ravies, can take between 10 and 14 days to manifest after the exposure. The authorities have underlined the importance of keeping up with vaccines, since these are the most effective tool to prevent measles. In addition, they have warned about possible serious complications, such as pneumonia or encephalitis, which can derive from this disease.
