Residents from a wide swath of Massachusetts — from Rockport on the North Shore to Wrentham south of Boston — may have been exposed to measles, state and city health officials announced Thursday.

A tourist from Europe who was ill with the highly infectious disease shopped, rode the subway, and dined out in Boston and Cambridge on May 1, then headed south to Wrentham the next day to hit the outlet shops and eat at Uno Chicago Grill.

By May 3, the unidentified tourist headed north to Rockport Village, shopping at several stores, including The Pewter Shop and Sea Star Gift Shop, and visiting Brothers’ Brew Coffee Shop, officials said.

On May 4, the tourist was back in Boston, at the Star Market in Copley Square and shopping along Newbury Street. By May 5 through Sunday, the visitor was at Massachusetts General Hospital. Health officials said patients and visitors at the hospital who may have been exposed will be notified by hospital administrators.

Early symptoms of measles occur 10 to 14 days after exposure and may resemble a cold with fever, cough, runny nose, and red eyes. A rash occurs two to four days after the initial symptoms develop.

The rash usually appears first on the head and moves downward, and typically lasts a few days and disappears in the same order. People with measles may be contagious up to four days before and four days after the rash appears. People who have had measles in the past or who have been vaccinated against the virus are considered immune, health officials said.

State health officials recommended that people who believe they may have been exposed to the infection call their doctor or local health department with questions or concerns.

Boston residents and those who work in the city should call the Boston Public Health Commission, at 617-534-5611. Those outside Boston may call the state Health Department, at 617-983-6800.
