Health department officials had originally alerted doctors to two possible cases of the highly-contagious virus on Monday. On Wednesday, the department said there are two confirmed cases of measles in Hamilton County and two probable cases in Boone County.

The state is working with local health departments to work to prevent the further spread of the virus.

Symptoms of measles include a fever, cough, runny nose and red eyes about 7-10 days after exposure, the state department said. Fevers can get as high as 105 degrees. A rash also forms on the face and upper neck before spreading to the back, arms, hands, legs and feet.
