An alert has been issued to passengers who were travelling on a flight to Dublin after a person on board was subsequently found to have measles. The warning is for people who were on flight TK1977 from Istanbul to Dublin on May 6, the Monday of the May bank holiday. The risk is posed to passengers who have not had measles or received the measles vaccine. Passengers need to be alert for symptoms that may arise until the end of the monitoring period on Tuesday, May 28. It comes as figures show that 26 cases of measles have been confirmed so far this year.
