Warning after Dunedin uni student contracts measles

6:02 pm on 17 October 2011

A Dunedin university student has come down with measles following a visit by a Wellington student.

The Southern District Health Board and Otago University say a Wellington student visited Cumberland College weeks ago passing measles on before realising they had it themselves.

The DHB says anyone with a high temperature, tiredness, running nose and inflamed eyes should stay home and phone their doctor.
