[Breitbart] The first reported case of a person with measles in the recent Memphis outbreak, which now numbers seven confirmed cases, was at a local mosque on April 15, according to the Shelby County Health Department."The first public place where there was a public exposure potentially [to measles] was the Masjid Al-Noor Mosque on April 15," Dr. Alisa Haushalter, Director of the Shelby County Health Department, tells Breitbart News.
"The mosque is one location we know that individuals who were infectious were during their infectious period, but that’s not necessarily where the first case occurred. I don’t want you to draw conclusions without sufficient information," she added.
Haushalter acknowledged, however, that the measles outbreak could have originated with an unvaccinated for measles adult or child brought to Tennessee under the federal refugee resettlement program, something she called "a possibility amongst many."
