Measles is highly contagious !!!
It can enter the body through the eyes nose and mouth from contaminated air and droplet from an infected individual. Measles can live up to two hours on the surface or airspace of the infected person. It can be transmitted by an infected person from 4 days prior to the onset of the rash to 4 days after the rash erupts. Measles is so contagious that if one person has it, 90% of the people close to that person who are not immune will also become infected. |
