A spate of measles in Auckland is growing. The Regional Public Health Service has now been notified of 12 people who have or possibly have the disease.
Nine of them were passengers on Emirates Flight EK434 from Brisbane which arrived on 11 January.
Three more may have been in contact with the passengers or could have got it from another source.
Public health clinical director Julia Peters says most of the cases are in West Auckland, but there is also one in Wellington.
She says they are trying to trace people who have been in contact with those who have a confirmed case of measles.
