Man with measles may have infected others in Dunedin
An Auckland man who flew to Dunedin has been confirmed as having measles while he was in the southern city.
Health authorities say he may have been infectious when he visited Dunedin's Esplanade Restaurant, in St Clair, for dinner, and while staying at the Bluestone on George Motel, both on July 22.
The man then visited Market Kitchen Restaurant, George St, for lunch on July 23.
Anyone who has developed symptoms should stay home and phone their GP or Healthline (0800 611 116) and let them know they have potentially been in contact with a confirmed measles case.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
