It seems that a fan from the U.K. who traveled to New Orleans for WrestleMania weekend has been hospitalized with the measles.
The tourist reportedly attended the 2018 Hall Of Fame Ceremony the Friday before WrestleMania 34, per a report from FOX 8 New Orleans.
He was hospitalized the following night on Saturday and other attendees at the Hall Of Fame are being contacted by the Louisiana Health Department now.
It also appears that, as of this writing, there is no further information on any other events the fan might have attended while infected. It was noted, however, that those who were two rows within the tourist have been emailed and urged to contact the health department:

Not yet. A few attendees of HOF got an email saying they were seated within two rows of the infected man and to call health dept. Still waiting for official details from them.

Another fan on Twitter noted that they received an email saying they were on the same plane as the infected tourist on the way over to New Orleans. The Louisiana Health Department has already concluded that the tourist was already infected before arriving to the U.S.
It was noted that an infected person can take between 10 days to three weeks to show symptoms of measles. We’ll keep you updated….
