"New South Wales health authorities have issued a measles alert after a baby
who recently returned from overseas, and subsequently visited several sites in
Western Sydney, tested positive to the virus.

This follows two cases of measles in a family on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast
who returned from overseas on March 13, and a case in South Australia which was
also acquired overseas.

Measles is an extremely contagious disease but, thanks to immunisation, is now
rare in Australia. Here are five things you need to know about the virus – and
why it’s important to get vaccinated."
