What Precautions Should Be Taken In A Measles Epidemic Area?

if I spent time with someone, who came home from a vacation recently, in the area in opCalifornia, where there is a measles epidemic-- can I be with a two and a half month old baby tomorrow?-- ( neither one of the people she stayed with has any rash or fever) I was in a car with her twice and went to dinner with her tonight- she has no symptoms
