A person infected with measles have been spotted eating at two restaurants and travelling on two trains as a trip to their local shopping centre. 

Between 5 and 11 September, the infected person visited public areas in the South Eastern Sydney. 
On 5 September, the infected took a train from Cronulla to Miranda around 4 to 4:30pm, visited Miranda Westfield and ate at Din Tai Fung Restaurant in Miranda. 

On 6 September, the infected took a train from Cronulla to Sutherland around 5:30 to 6pm.
On 8 September, they ate at Kuroneko Ramen Noodle Bar in Sutherland and was finally taken to the Sutherland Hospital Emergency Department on 11 September. 

According to the South Eastern Sydney Local Health District Public Health Director, Professor Mark Ferson, measles is highly infectious and can easily be spread through the air by someone who is unwell with the disease. 

Symptoms include fever, sore eyes and a cough, followed by a non-itchy rash. 

“People with measles symptoms should stay home from school or work and not go in public,” Professor Fersons aid. 

“We recommend medical attention be sought, but if you or your child shows these symptoms you should call the doctor’s surgery before you go in so they can make arrangements to see you without the risk of you spreading the virus to other people,” he added. 

People born after 1965 with no record of receiving two doses of MMR vaccine, or evidence of previous measles infection are at a higher risk. 

Professor Ferson recommended that people who visited the South Eastern Sydney areas on Sunday to Monday should be vaccinated within 72 hours of visiting.
