If you were at the Chick-Fil-A at the Citadel Crossing Shopping Center on March 25 between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m., CDPHE says you may have been exposed to measles and should monitor symptoms for 21 days after exposure.
CDPHE says people who are exposed to measles will usually develop symptoms in seven to 21 days after being exposed. Symptoms include the following:
