TRENTON – A third case of measles has been discovered in an Ocean County man, prompting the State Department of Health to issue a Public Health Alert to all who might have come in contact with him between March 9 and March 14.

  Earlier this year, there was a spread of the disease among a few dozen cases. New cases eventually stopped showing up, so that outbreak was considered contained. These three new patients are now a new outbreak.

  The state is warning that you might be at risk of this potentially fatal disease if you were at the following locations at the following times:
