New South Wales health officials have issued a warning to the public after a case of measles emerged in western Sydney.
A woman contracted the disease after coming into contact with an infant who was diagnosed with measles earlier this month.
Authorities have advised people to be alert for signs and symptoms of the condition and flagged multiple exposure sites across the city’s western suburbs.
The case prompted a warning for multiple exposure sites across Sydney between March 24 and March 29.
NSW Health said anyone who was at the following places could have been exposed to the virus and should monitor for symptoms:
- Baby Bunting, Blacktown Megacentre on 24 March between 3.00pm and 4.00pm
- Kmart Blacktown on 24 March between 4.00pm and 5.00pm
- Winston Hills Mall on 28 March between 12.00pm and 2.30pm
- Westmead Hospital Emergency Department on 29 March 2024 between 2.00pm and 10.30pm.
