HAMILTON, Bermuda, CMC -Bermuda health authorities Tuesday said they were investigating a suspected case of measles and that public health measures are being implemented, including the identification and notification of persons, who may have had a potential measles exposure. In a statement, the Ministry of Health’s Epidemiology and Surveillance Unit said the health measures are initiated  as a timely response is critical to preventing potential outbreaks. It gave no details regarding the suspected case. But it said that given the highly contagious nature of measles, timely response, case investigation, contact tracing, and immunization efforts help to prevent potential spread while confirmatory testing is underway. The Ministry noted the the importance of measles awareness and prevention, adding that vaccination is crucial in reducing the risk of catching and spreading measles. It said that anyone who has not received both doses of the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine—particularly children and young adults—should follow the below guidance to protect themselves and others. “Vaccination remains the most effective protection against measles and other vaccine-preventable diseases. If you haven’t yet received both doses of the MMR vaccine, now is the time to act. Protect yourself and those around you from this highly contagious and potentially serious disease,”  said Minister of Health, Kim Wilson.“We must work together to prevent the potential spread of measles and other vaccine-preventable diseases. We encourage parents to ensure their children are immunized according to the recommended schedule. Vaccination is a simple yet powerful way to stay safe and safeguard our community.” The authorities said that the first symptoms of measles are fever, tiredness, cough, runny nose, sore red eyes and feeling unwell. A few days later a rash appears. The rash starts on the face, spreads down to the body, and lasts for four to seven days.
