Measles Is Back in Manhattan — And Officials Won't Tell You Everywhere You Were Exposed

A Manhattan resident has tested positive for measles after contracting the disease abroad — visiting at least two restaurants, a performance venue, and multiple healthcare facilities across the borough before being diagnosed. New York City health officials confirmed only one of those locations publicly, leaving New Yorkers to wonder whether they were exposed.

The confirmed site: Norma Gastronomia Siciliana, a popular Italian restaurant in Hell's Kitchen. The restaurant disclosed on social media that the infected individual was on the premises on April 25 between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. The NYC Department of Health confirmed the detail — but when pressed on the other venues visited, a department spokesperson told Gothamist that the agency isn't disclosing the remaining locations because all of them "have informed their employees and any patrons who might have been exposed."
