Anyone who thinks they may have been exposed to measles at the above locations is advised to check their vaccination records.
People who have not received two doses of the measles vaccine or have not had measles before are at risk of infection.
TPH also advises monitoring for symptoms until Dec. 29. Symptoms can include fever, runny nose, cough, red eyes, a red rash that begins on the face and spreads down the body and small blue-white spots on the inside of the mouth and throat.
