Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can lead to serious complications for tamariki and adults. Find out how to protect yourself and learn about how it's spread.

04/11/2025

Measles virus is highly contagious. It is spread through the air by infected droplets or by direct contact with secretions from the nose or throat of infected persons, for example by touching contaminated items or surfaces. It can survive for up to 2 hours in the air.

A person with measles is most contagious from when symptoms start until three to four days after the rash appears. One person with measles can pass the disease on to 12–18 people who have not already had measles or been immunised against the disease.
