"We would remind people to be vigilant for the signs and symptoms of measles - fever, cough, runny nose and sore red eyes. After three to five days, a rash appears on the face and then moves down the body."
People with measles could spread it to others even before they started feeling sick, so often didn't know that they could be exposing others.
Rainger said immunisation was the best protection against measles and anyone unsure if they were immune should check their health records. This included their Well Child/Plunket book, or asking their usual doctor or practice nurse.
"If you think you or your child may have measles, it's important to call your doctor or healthcare centre before turning up so you can be isolated on arrival," Rainger said.
Anyone who hadn't already received a phone call, text message or email from ARPHS and who had been at the locations listed in the locations below should call public health on 09 623 4600 as a precaution in case they had been exposed.
