Measles alert for the International Hospital

⚠️ Measles alert for Brisbane International Airport. ⚠️

There have been two cases of measles in people who have spent time at the Brisbane International Airport arrivals terminal on Thursday, 19 March 2026.

The list of exposure sites and times is being regularly updated. For a full list of exposure locations, visit: https://www.health.qld.gov.au/newsroom/alerts/measles-alert-brisbane-airport

Members of the public who were in these areas, on these dates, need to be alert for symptoms of measles for up to three weeks from the exposure date.

The initial symptoms of measles can include fever, lethargy, runny nose, moist cough and sore red eyes. This is followed a few days later by a blotchy, red rash which often starts on the face and then becomes widespread over the body.

If you have any of the measles symptoms, contact your GP or ED. It is very important to call the medical practice or ED first if you think you might have measles, so that staff can take precautions to avoid spreading it to others.

For more information about the measles virus call 13 HEALTH (13 43 25 84).

A little reminder for the ladies: your health matters too. 🥰 💕

We often spend so much time looking after others—our partner, our kids, our parents and our friends, that we forget about our own needs.

Research tells us that prioritising taking care of others is actually the number one barrier to women being proactive about their health.

Filling other people's cup is lovely—but it's important to fill your own and look after YOU too.

So let this be your nudge to:
> Have some 'me' time (read a book, grab your favourite coffee, catch up with a friend).
> Prioritise the basics—sleep, water, movement.
> Book that health check you've been putting off.
> Regularly check your body for any changes like new lumps, bumps or moles.

By taking care of yourself first, you'll be able to better look after others in your life. 💕
