The number of measles cases who acquired their infection in the greater Melbourne area is increasing. In addition, there is an ongoing risk of measles importation in Victoria in travellers returning from overseas or interstate.

These recent measles cases have been infectious while in public settings at multiple locations around greater Melbourne area and Gippsland.

People who have visited any of the listed exposure sites or spent time in the greater Melbourne area from mid-March should monitor for symptoms of measles and follow the instructions below.

Measles is highly infectious and can cause serious illness.

Symptoms of measles include fever, cough, sore or red eyes (conjunctivitis), runny nose, and feeling generally unwell, followed by a red maculopapular rash. The rash usually starts on the face before spreading down the body. Symptoms can develop between 7 to 18 days after exposure.

Anyone who develops symptoms of measles should seek medical care and testing for measles. Wear a face mask and call ahead to make sure you can be isolated from others.

Anyone planning overseas travel should make sure they have received appropriate travel vaccinations, including the MMR vaccine. This is especially important for anyone planning on travelling to South-East Asia, including Indonesia and Vietnam.
