(By: ) – The North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services has confirmed the state’s first measles case since 2011.

A Williams County child who was not vaccinated is believed to have contracted the illness from an out-of-state visitor, the department said.

Health officials are contacting people who may have had contact with the child and advising people who are not vaccinated to quarantine.

The threat to the public is low due to a majority of North Dakotans being vaccinated against the disease, according to the department.
