A Burwood Hospital worker has been diagnosed with the measles. Canterbury District Health Board says it is working to identify all close contacts of the woman including patients and staff at Burwood who may have been exposed. Please don’t visit your GP team, other health provider or a hospital in person as this will spread the illness. People who have been exposed and who are not immune should remain isolated for 14 days after their first exposure," she said. If you are not sure whether you are immune telephone your General Practice team – they can advise you,” said Dr Brunton.
