Passengers and crew on two Virgin Australia flights may have been exposed to measles by an infected flight attendant over the Australia Day long weekend.

Nine News reporter Natalie Peters has revealed the woman was a crew member on Virgin Australia flights from Sydney to Ayers Rock and back on January 27.

The NSW Health Department is trying to track down anyone who may have come in contact with the flight attendant last week.

The woman is the seventh person diagnosed with measles in NSW this year, and spent time in Sydney’s eastern suburbs while infectious, across Bondi Junction, Rose Bay and Double Bay (full details below).

South Eastern Sydney Deputy Director of Public Health Dr Vicky Sheppeard says none of the places she visited pose an ongoing risk.

However, anyone who may have come into contact with the woman between January 26 to January 31 – particularly infants, pregnant women and people with compromised immune systems – are being warned they may need preventative injections.
