The case recently returned from South-East Asia, where there are ongoing outbreaks of measles in several countries.

People who attended the following locations should watch for symptoms.

📌Tuesday 4 March 2025
▪ Gosford Hospital Emergency Department from 4.30am to 4.15pm

📌Saturday 1 March 2025
▪ Wamberal beach, 1pm to 3.45pm.
▪ Woolworths Erina Fair, 620-658 Terrigal Drive, Erina from 4pm to 4.30pm

“Symptoms to watch out for include fever, runny nose, sore eyes and a cough, usually followed three or four days later by a red, blotchy rash that spreads from the head and face to the rest of the body,” Dr Taylor said.

“It can take up to 18 days for symptoms to appear after an exposure,

“If you develop symptoms, please call ahead to your GP or emergency department to ensure you do not spend time in the waiting room with other patients.

“We want to remind the community to make sure they are up to date with their vaccinations. The measles vaccine can prevent the disease even after exposure, if given early enough.

“Anyone born after 1965 needs to ensure they have had two doses of measles vaccine. This is especially important before overseas travel, as measles outbreaks are occurring in several regions of the world at the moment."

The measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine is safe and effective, and is given free for children at 12 and 18 months of age. It is also free in NSW for anyone born after 1965 who hasn't already had two doses.

Children under the age of 12 months can have their first dose of MMR up to six months earlier if they are travelling to areas with a high risk for measles. Parents should consult their GP.

People who are unsure of whether they have had two doses should get a vaccine, as additional doses are safe. This is particularly important prior to travel. MMR vaccine is available from GPs and pharmacies

"On Monday, Feb. 10, U.S. District Judge John McConnell Jr. said the freeze was 'likely unconstitutional’ and slammed the [POTUS 47] administration for 'continu[ing] to improperly freeze federal funds.'

"He ordered the federal government to immediately restore frozen funding. On Feb. 11, Monterey Bay Air Resources District (MBARD) officials were again able to access their Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) account.”

"Big Fog" for #MeerMittwoch (even though it's Thursday in the German-speaking part of the world already, sorry😉)

Rugged old seastacks in dense summer fog that keeps the immediate coast nice and cool. Just half a mile further inland it's clear blue skies and much, much warmer. Big Sur, California, August 2021.

ABC News · Boil water alert for NSW Central Coast homes after E. coli detectedBy Sarah Forster

Had the privilege yesterday of touring the Paulucci Studios of KCLU Radio, one of the premier news organizations on California’s Central Coast or anywhere else. This excellent resource on the California Lutheran University campus is required listening for me every morning and whenever news breaks.

Like all NPR stations, KLCU is listener-supported. I’m so glad thousands of others have joined my wife and me in supporting KCLU and local journalism. The Paulucci Studios also have a classroom and lab for CLU students.
