🚨 Measles Alert – Toowoomba Region 🚨
There have been confirmed cases of measles in Toowoomba. Measles is a highly infectious virus that spreads through coughing, sneezing, or direct contact with secretions from the nose or mouth. Symptoms can appear 7 days to 3 weeks after exposure.
👀 Please be alert for:
🤧 Cough, runny nose, fever
🌡️ Rash (usually appearing a few days later)
🏥 If you have these symptoms, please let us know when booking. We may arrange a car park consult to reduce the risk of spreading infection inside the clinic.
🧪 We also encourage patients to continue RAT testing (ideally triple RAT for RSV, influenza, and COVID) to help protect yourself, your family, and our community.
