Two hundred ten people who attended a Chinese New Year dinner party Saturday at Golden Palace Seafood Restaurant at 111 North King St. in Kalihi may have been exposed to measles by one of the guests, the state Health Department said today.

The party organized by Kwai and Randy Chun was hosted by C.Q. Yee Hop and Co., according to health officials.

The Health Department advises anyone who develops a fever and cough or runny nose between now and Feb. 27 to stay at home and consult a physician.

"Most people in Hawai'i are immune to measles either through vaccination or having had measles in the past, so outbreaks of measles are rare," state epidemiologist Dr. Paul Effler said. "Still, because not everyone is immune and the disease is so infectious, it is possible that someone at the party may become infected with measles."
