A Tauranga strip club and an Anzac Day afternoon screening of Avengers: Endgame have been identified as two of several possible measles infection danger zones in Tauranga and Taupō.

Since yesterday's report, there have been no additional cases of measles confirmed in the Bay of Plenty and Lakes districts.

The total number of confirmed measles cases since the start of April remains at 17.

However, Medical Officer of Heath Dr Phil Shoemack was anticipating further cases, and was urging the public to remain vigilant and look for the signs and symptoms of measles.

"Contacts of several of our recent cases are likely to develop measles over the next few days as they are unimmunised," said Shoemack.

"There has been significant exposure across both Bay of Plenty and Lakes districts and those who are not immunised are at risk of developing measles.

"Measles is one of the most infectious viruses so it is important that we try to limit the spread.

"The first early symptoms of measles are fever, runny nose, sore red eyes and cough, followed a few days later by a rash usually starting on the face before moving down the body. If you think you or someone in your family/whānau may have measles, please stay at home and phone your doctor or Healthline first." The Healthline number is 0800 611 116.
