Measles symptoms usually begin with fever, cough, a runny nose and sore eyes, followed by a blotchy rash that generally starts on the head and spreads down the body.
SA Health says anyone who develops symptoms should stay home if well enough and phone their doctor before attending to arrange testing. Anyone needing hospital or clinic care should also call ahead so staff can take precautions.
Two vaccine doses provide the best protection against measles. SA Health encourages people born in Australia during or after 1966 who have no record of receiving two doses to check their vaccination history and request the vaccine.
Exposure sites may be added to the alert. Check SA Health’s measles page for the latest list before publishing or sharing this article.
