The Mesa County Health Department issued a news release on Monday letting customers of a popular restaurant know they may have been exposed to the viral infection, measles.
The restaurant in question is the Grand Junction Olive Garden. Health officials warn that if you were at the restaurant on Tuesday, December 28, 2010, between the hours of 6:30pm and 10:00pm, you may have been exposed to a suspect case of measles in an unvaccinated person visiting from out of state.
The alert also talks about symptoms to be on the look for if you are not considered immune:
