Summary
Two positive measles tests prompted Mount Nittany Health to warn of possible exposure at its Toftrees site from 10 a.m. to noon on July 31 and at its emergency department from noon July 31 to 1 a.m. Aug. 1.
Mount Nittany said it is contacting high-risk people who were present during those windows and has added measles screening questions at all outpatient locations.
Patients who suspect exposure or symptoms were told to call ahead before seeking in-person care and to wear a mask on arrival; symptoms can appear 7 to 21 days after exposure.
Centre County now has 2 confirmed measles cases this year, while Pennsylvania has logged 226 cases across 17 counties in 2026, including 57 new cases in the past week.
Nationwide, 2,465 measles cases have been confirmed this year—the most since 1991—and Pennsylvania says none of its cases have occurred in fully vaccinated people.
