A measles alert has been issued after NSW Health was notified about a woman with the infectious disease in western Sydney.
There is no ongoing risk to the public, but Western Sydney Local Health District public health unit acting director Conrad Moreira said people who potentially had contact with the woman should monitor for symptoms.
"Symptoms include fever, sore eyes, runny nose and a cough followed three or four days later by a red, blotchy rash that spreads from the head to the rest of the body," Dr Moreira said in a statement.
