Measles Frequently Asked Questions
Measles is a highly contagious virus that causes fever and a rash. Measles can cause other serious health complication. Anyone who is not vaccinated can get measles at any age.
How does measles spread?
The measles virus lives in an infected person's nose and throat mucus. When that person sneezes or coughs, the virus sprays into the air and people can breath in the virus. The virus remains active and contagious in the air for up to two hours. People can also get measles by touching a surface that has the virus on it and then touching their eyes, nose or mouth.
Measles is highly contagious - if one person has it, 90% of people around them will also get it if they are unvaccinated or otherwise not immune.
What are the symptoms of measles and when do they start?
Early symptoms of measles include fever, which can reach more than 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degree Celsius); cough; runny nose; and red watery eyes. Three to five days after symptoms start, a rash of red spots appears on the face and then spreads over the entire body.
Symptoms usually start seven to 14 days after contact with the virus; symptoms may start late as 21 days after exposure.
How can I protect myself form measles?
Getting vaccinated is the best way to prevent measles. In the U.S., the measles vaccine is combined with mumps and rubella vaccines into one vaccine called MMR (measles, mumps and rubella). The MMR vaccine is safe and effective. Two doses of MMR vaccine are about 97% effective at preventing measles; one dose is about 93% effective.

COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates
Effective May 23, 2023, CUNY will end the emergency vaccination mandate for all faculty, staff, and students. Campus random testing & testing locations, use of Cleared4, and restrictive campus access will also end/close as of June 2023.
Covid-19 Protocol on Face Coverings
In response to revised guidance issued by the CDC, we are lifting the temporary mask mandate that has been in place since August 2021, which required all CUNY students, faculty, staff, and visitors to wear masks inside University campuses, office buildings, classrooms, and other non-enclosed spaces. This policy change, which takes effect on Monday, March 7, follows recent announcements by Governor Hochul and Mayor Adams that ended mask mandates for pre-K through 12th-grade schools across New York State and City.
Anyone who wants to continue wearing a mask in any setting is welcome to do so. Masks will continue to be available on campus for people who want them. The CDC does not require people to wear masks in communities with low or medium COVID-19 levels, like New York City’s five boroughs. However, we urge the small number of faculty, staff, and students who are not vaccinated, or those who have been or will be granted a medical exemption or religious exception, to wear a mask.

Masks are optional and are not required.
