Another measles case confirmed in Austin
Wednesday, May 7, 2025 by Elizabeth Pagano
Austin Public Health has learned that the city has another confirmed measles exposure. The city hosted an infectious El Paso resident April 25 through April 27 with an initial investigation revealing a potential public exposure at Terry Black’s Barbecue on April 26 between 8 and 11 p.m. Anyone visiting the restaurant during that time should monitor for symptoms through May 17. Should symptoms develop, exposed people are advised to quarantine, call a health provider (before visiting) or 512-972-5555 for assistance. Unvaccinated, pregnant or immunocompromised people should contact a doctor immediately as they may be eligible for preventative care.
