BOSTON — Massachusetts public health officials have confirmed the state’s first case of the measles this year and say people who have not been immunized who visited the same locations as the infected person may be at risk.
The state Department of Public Health says the person from greater Boston was diagnosed with the highly contagious disease Sunday. They were diagnosed at a clinic in Wellesley.
In the week before the diagnosis, the person visited KKatie’s Burger Bar in Plymouth on Tuesday; a Starbucks in Waltham and the Mass Pike rest stop in Framingham on Wednesday; a Staples and a Dunkin’ Donuts in Waltham, a Whole Foods Market in Hyannis, and a Target in Braintree on Thursday.
EAST LONGMEADOW — State Police say the person pulled from a vehicle submerged eight feet deep in an East Longmeadow pond has died.
Police and firefighters responded to Heritage Park at about 3 a.m. Tuesday for reports of a vehicle that had driven into a pond.
The occupant was pulled from the vehicle by firefighters and taken to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield. The state police Underwater Recovery Unit responded to help recover the vehicle from the water.
No information about the vehicle’s occupant has been released.
