Measles Alert After Brisbane Flight | Australia News
Description
Measles alert in Queensland: A traveler on Singapore Airlines Flight SQ265, arriving in Brisbane July 17, unknowingly spread the virus—potentially exposing airport staff, passengers, and patients at Queensland Children’s Hospital. Key exposure times: the flight (7:20 AM–4:50 PM), airport (4:50–6:45 PM) on July 17, and the hospital’s ER (7 PM July 17–2 PM July 18). While no ongoing risk exists, watch for symptoms up to 3 weeks later—fever, fatigue, runny nose, cough, red eyes, then rash. Measles is highly contagious but preventable with the free MMR vaccine, available for kids and adults born since 1966. Get vaccinated or check with your doctor or pharmacy.
