The Chicago Department of Public Health says a person traveling from Sedalia, Missouri, arrived in Chicago through Union Station on August 27th around 1030 at night, then stayed overnight in the city before heading back to Union Station on August 28th around 9pm to travel to Rochester, New York.

The department is now working to contact anyone who may have been exposed, as it could take up to three weeks before infected people start feeling symptoms.
