A woman who frequented an inner Sydney university campus has become the eighth person in NSW diagnosed with measles in 2020.

NSW Health said on Tuesday the woman, who had not recently travelled overseas, spent time at the University of Sydney’s Camperdown campus while infectious, including at a campus cafe on January 28.

Anyone who visited the Laneway cafe that day has been warned to stay alert for measles symptoms until mid-February.

Symptoms include a fever, cough, runny nose and sore red eyes, followed by a red spotty rash which starts on the head and spreads down.

“The measles virus is highly contagious and is spread through the air by someone who is unwell with the disease,” NSW Health public health clinical director Dr Leena Gupta said in a statement.

“We recommend medical treatment be sought but if you or your child do have these symptoms, you should call the doctor’s surgery before you go in so they can make arrangements so you don’t wait with others.”

Another woman was on Sunday diagnosed with measles, having spent time in Bondi Junction, Rose Bay and Double Bay from January 26 to January 31.
