State health officials say the newly reported cases involved three minors and two adults in Allen County.

Officials say the initial case reported earlier this week is connected to the five new cases, but there are currently no known links between these and outbreaks in other states.

The four minors were unvaccinated, while the adults’ vaccination status is unclear, officials said.

All are said to be recovering well.

State and local public health officials say they're working together on the investigation to contact those with known exposure to help prevent further spread.

Officials say the risk to the general public remains low.

IDOH officials say two doses of MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine are 97 percent effective at preventing measles.

Individuals born before 1957 are presumed to be immune, and officials say you should consult with your healthcare provider if you are unsure of your vaccination status.

Health officials say, "Measles begins with a fever, cough, runny nose and red eyes usually about 7 to 14 days after exposure to measles but can occur up to 21 days. The fever increases and can get as high as 105 degrees. Tiny white spots (Koplik spots) may appear inside the mouth two to three days after symptoms begin. Then two to four days after symptoms begin, a rash starts on the hairline and face. It spreads down the back and torso, and then extends to the arms and hands, as well as the legs and feet. After about five days, the rash fades the same order in which it appeared."

If you are experiencing symptoms of measles, officials recommend you stay home and call your healthcare provider before going to the doctor’s office.
