NSW Health issued a measles alert for Sydney on 12 November after confirming a case in a traveller who had returned from South Asia. The department said the traveller had visited several places, including Sydney Kingsford Smith International Airport and a healthcare facility.

The agency’s notice links to an updated list of locations and times. NSW Health said the listed sites pose no ongoing risk and asked people who were there at the specified times to watch for symptoms for up to 18 days after possible exposure.

The agency advised people who develop symptoms after a listed exposure to seek medical care and call ahead so staff can reduce the chance of exposing other patients.
