Christina Hurst, public health programs manager for Clallam County Health and Human Services, said residents can phone the department for advice at 360-417-2274.
The patient no longer is infectious but remains at OMC with what Hurst called “underlying health issues.”
His name has not been released.
When the man went to OMC’s emergency room Sunday, tests confirmed that he had measles.
Officials have not determined where he got the disease.
Some Washington state cases have been traced to the so-called Disneyland outbreak of late December; others, to travelers returning through Seattle-Tacoma International Airport from South America.
Meanwhile, the hospital announced that 99 percent of its personnel have been immunized for measles.
One health care worker who was thought not to have been vaccinated and who was in the emergency room when the man was hospitalized has been determined to have measles immunity, OMC officials said.
