New Zealand may be on the cusp of another measles outbreak.

There are ten known cases: One of those cases came from overseas, and the other nine were contracted locally.

Health NZ has said the risk of further measles cases, contacts, and exposures across the country remains ‘very high’.

The confirmation of new cases unconnected to international travel though has experts worried.

Today on The Front Page, University of Canterbury senior lecturer in epidemiology, Anna Howe, is with us to discuss what you need to know.
