A question for readers - is there a handy tool that allows a person to open a jar, bottle, etc with just one hand? Trying everything but so far not much success. There has to be something that works and we need to learn of it. Click here to share, print, or bookmark this article. 2019-02-15 16:55:02 | Comments

Confirmed case of measles in Barren River District Unvaccinated child had travelled out of the country recently. By Doug Hogan/Beth Fisher Frankfort, KY - A case of measles has been confirmed in a young child living in the region served by the Barren River District Health Department. The child, who is unvaccinated, recently traveled out of the country to an area where measles is endemic, the Kentucky Department for Public Health (DPH) reports. The case is not linked to an ongoing measles outbreak in the state of Washington or other cases of measles in the U.S. DPH, the Barren River District Health Department, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are collaborating in the investigation and have confirmed the child did not become infectious until returning to Kentucky. Public exposure is believed to be very limited and public health officials are in the process of notifying individuals who came into contact with the child during the infectious period. "Measles is a highly contagious illness so it is extremely important that close contacts are notified," said DPH Commissioner Dr. Jeff Howard. "We are working diligently, along with our local health department and CDC colleagues, to make sure contacts are aware of this potential case, are getting any necessary medical care and aren't spreading the illness to others. We cannot stress enough the importance of vaccination. Measles, among many other vaccine-preventable diseases, is an extremely dangerous illness, especially for small children."
