Drake fans who attended his concert in Perth on Tuesday night have been put on alert after a person infected with measles attended the performance at RAC Arena. The Department of Health said the confirmed case, the first in WA this year, was a returned traveller from Bali who had stopped in at several locations in the city between Sunday and Friday.
“Anyone who has visited an exposure location during the dates and times listed should monitor for symptoms and, if symptomatic, wear a mask and seek medical care,” Communicable Disease Control director Paul Armstrong said. “Before presenting at a GP clinic or emergency department, call ahead so staff can ensure you do not infect other patients and staff.” Fever, tiredness, a cough and a red non-itchy rash are among symptoms.
