High risk of infection

Measles sufferer cheered on soccer team

On June 8, a person unknowingly suffering from measles attended a soccer match in Allhaming (Upper Austria). The BH Linz-Land points out the high risk of infection and asks all those also present to monitor their state of health.

Spielgemeinschaft Allhaming/Weißkirchen 1b and UVB Vöcklamarkt Juniors played a fierce match at the Allhaming soccer pitch on June 8, 2024. One of the spectators was unknowingly infected with measles.

Highly contagious
Due to the high infectiousness of the disease, it is possible that other spectators at the event were infected with the measles virus. People who do not have immunity through vaccination or a previous illness should monitor their health closely.

Possible symptoms
If symptoms such as high fever, dry cough, runny nose, conjunctivitis and inflammation of the nasopharynx occur before June 29, the family doctor's surgery should be informed immediately by telephone of possible contact with measles and contact with other people should be avoided.
