The Department of Health is managing a confirmed measles case identified at Bunbury Regional Hospital.
A/Director of Communicable Disease Control Directorate, Dr Paul Effler said the Department was working with Bunbury Regional Hospital to manage any exposure to staff, patients and visitors.
"Extensive contact tracing and infection control measures are underway within the hospital and other locations visited by the case to prevent further infection," he said.
Early measles symptoms include fever, fatigue, cough, runny nose and sore eyes, followed by a red, non-itchy rash three or four days later. The rash usually starts on the face and spreads to the rest of the body.
"It is important that anyone aged under 60 (who has not received two doses of the measles vaccine) and who visited Bunbury Regional Hospital between 19 and 23 March 2025 should monitor for symptoms, particularly fever and respiratory illness," Dr Effler said,
"They should continue to monitor themselves for seven to 18 days after the visit."
