The WA Department of Health has issued a warning concerning Measles being brought in from overseas (Bali) recently and possibly being spread within the Perth Metropolitan area.
Please refer to this attachment from the Department for information on measles, or visit this link.
The Department has been providing information to people who were potentially exposed to the most recent Bali measles case where they were known, but it was not possible to identify and specifically warn people who were in public places.
People could have been exposed to the recent case at the following locations in Perth, with dates/times as indicated:
- Thursday, April 27 — around 3pm at the Coles supermarket in Fitzgerald Street, North Perth.
- Friday April 28 — around 8am at the IGA supermarket in 2nd Avenue, Mt Lawley.

- Sunday 30 April — around 2pm at the Coles supermarket in Guildford Road, Maylands.
The Department says that anyone who believed they might have measles should call ahead so that they can be isolated when they arrive at the GP surgery or emergency department, to prevent infecting other patients and staff.
Please contact the Department of Health if you have any further queries or wish to report a case of measles - their contact details are here.
Thanks everyone, be well.
