The World Health Organization has warned of a surge in cases
Brits travelling to Europe this summer are being warned to be "vigilant" following an outbreak of measles in 17 EU countries.
In Britain, most measles cases have been seen in London, but "there have been cases picked up across the country and some are linked to travel abroad," the Health Security Agency said. Global stats show Tajikistan has the highest number of cases with over 600, followed by Turkey with 466 and the Russian Federation on 414, reports Birmingham Live.
The first symptoms of measles include a a high temperature and a runny or blocked nose, as well as sneezing and a cough and maybe red, sore, watery eyes. The NHS says small white spots may appear inside the cheeks and on the back of the lips a few days later. These spots usually last a few days.
