Someone on Furman University campus has been diagnosed with measles and another is a suspected case, the Greenville university announced Tuesday.

They did not say if the person was a staff member or student. They are isolated, the school said.

The school has notified the South Carolina Department of Public Health.

Contact tracing is underway and people are being notified that they may have been exposed.

“At this time, there is no indication of widespread exposure,” the school said in a news release.
