MEASLES UPDATE FROM THE HEALTH & WELLNESS CENTER
Just a quick update regarding measles as there have been 2 more cases reported in the Bay of Plenty.
The first early symptoms of measles are fever, runny nose, sore red eyes and cough, followed a few days later by a
rash usually starting on the face before moving down the body. If you think you or someone in your family may
have measles, it is important to remember to stay at home and phone your doctor to alert them of your symptoms
and allow them to make arrangements to assess you safely and without infecting other people. If you would like
more detailed information you can access the Toi Te Ora Public Health
website: https://www.toiteora.govt.nz/measles
