A confirmed case of measles has been reported in someone who came back from traveling abroad and visited a restaurant in Burlingame earlier this week, San Mateo County Health officials announced Friday, Feb. 27.
 The case involved an adult who is a Santa Clara County resident and is vaccinated against the virus. The person visited the Panda Express restaurant at 1453 Burlingame Ave. on Monday and Tuesday, Feb. 23 and 24, so people who were there between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on those days may be at risk.
The person whose measles case has been confirmed is now isolating at home, San Mateo County Health officials said.
The county health department said anyone who was at the restaurant during those days and times and develops symptoms should stay at home and call their health care provider immediately.
Symptoms can include fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and a rash that spreads over the body. People who have been symptom-free for more than 21 days after being exposed are no longer considered at risk.
There have been two confirmed cases of measles in San Mateo County in 2026 after one case was reported in 2025. Santa Clara County officials said it was the first case in their county since May 2025. Before that, the last case in the county was in 2019.
 Officials from San Mateo and Santa Clara counties said both counties follow state vaccination guidelines and say the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine and other recommended vaccines are covered by health insurance for almost everyone in California and help avoid preventable diseases.
