Five more children in San Diego have tested positive for measles, bringing to 11 the total number of patients in a month long outbreak that has spread to schools, grocery stores, the Del Mar Fairgrounds and Hawaii, county officials said yesterday.
Two other youngsters have developed symptoms of measles, but county officials have not discovered a link between them and the current outbreak.
One of the newly confirmed patients is an 8-year-old who may have spread the measles virus during a visit to Whole Foods Market in Hillcrest that started at 5 p.m. and lasted about an hour Jan. 29.
Two days later, the child attended “Corteo,” a performance by the group Cirque du Soleil, at the fairgrounds. He or she may have infected spectators and employees at the 4 and 8 p.m. shows.
