Canterbury District Health Board issues measles warning to parents

There have been five confirmed cases - including a baby and two people who had to be hospitalised - over the past week in Queenstown, Wanaka, Canterbury, and Nelson.
Medical professionals have warned of a high possibility of more cases, and urged those with symptoms to call, rather than visit, their doctors.
