Many countries are experiencing a resurgence of measles with outbreaks reported. Outbreak news of the affected areas is available from the website of the Department of Health's Travel Health Service. Pregnant women and women preparing for pregnancy who are not immune to measles as well as children aged under 1 year are advised not to travel to places with outbreaks of measles. If in doubt, consult your doctors at least two weeks before departure. Members of the public should always maintain personal hygiene; keep hands clean; avoid going to crowded or poorly ventilated places. If symptoms occur, wear a mask and inform doctors of travel history.
