The University of Memphis says that one of its students has been exposed to measles and has potentially exposed other students, according to an email sent out to the campus community.
The student has not been diagnosed with measles, wrote Rosie P. Bingham, dean of students at the U of M, in the email.
“The student has been instructed not to return to campus, but the student was on campus through Friday.†Bingham wrote. “Those who are known to have been in contact with this student last week will receive further correspondence; however, it is possible that others who were on campus last week could have been exposed.â€
There have been six diagnosed cases of measles in Shelby County as of April 27, higher than the rest of the United States.
There will be a campus meeting today at 3 p.m. in the University Center to answer questions some might have related to the situation, Bingham wrote in her email.Â
