We confirm that there are no new cases today. The number of known measles cases nationally remains at 17, all of whom are no longer infectious.

The outbreak is ongoing, and Health New Zealand continues to lead the response with a focus on ‘stamping out’ cases. An outbreak can only be declared over after two complete incubation periods with no new cases. For measles, this means no new cases for 42 consecutive days.

We anticipate more cases as the current outbreak progresses. New Zealand continues to remain at high risk from measles.

We will continue to publish updates when new information becomes available.
