A second measles alert has been issued by Brisbane health authorities with a person infected with the disease visiting several locations in the inner city this last fortnight.
This case comes just one day after an alert was issued for an infectious person who visited places around Fortitude Valley and inner Brisbane.
Metro South Health Public Health Physician, Dr Bhakti Vasant, said “Measles is a serious viral infection that causes fever, cough, runny nose, then a red spotty rash and sore eyes a few days later.
“Anyone who develops measles-like symptoms within the next fortnight should contact their GP for advice but please call medical practice first to say you could have measles so that staff can take necessary precautions,” Dr Vasant added.
