Measles is one of the most contagious viruses. 90% of unvaccinated people exposed to the virus become infected, officials say. You can catch measles just by being in a room where a person with measles has been, up to 2 hours after the person is gone. You can catch measles from an infected person even before they have a measles rash.

In late March, officials from Rockland County warned a Spring Valley Target, a Monsey supermarket and other county businesses were exposed to measles.
