Health authorities have issued a warning after a traveler infected with Measles visited several popular locations across Queensland. The person traveled through Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast between April 2 and April 5, 2025, while unknowingly infectious. Locations visited included shops, train stations, hostels, restaurants, and the well-known Australia Zoo.
Officials from the Metro North Public Health Unit urged anyone who may have been at those locations during the same times to monitor for symptoms for up to 18 days. Early signs of measles include fever, fatigue, cough, runny nose, and red eyes, followed by a blotchy rash. Health experts advise anyone experiencing symptoms to contact a doctor first before visiting a clinic to avoid spreading the infection.
