Measles is a dangerous disease that is divided into several stages. First, a rash appears, followed by fever, runny nose, cough and conjunctivitis.
It is important to remember that the skin problem only starts after 3-5 days. But the person becomes contagious immediately.
Doctor Andrey Pozdnyakov spoke about this, writes KP-Tomsk .
But who is most often at risk?
First of all, these are people who have not been vaccinated, as well as those whose immunity is weak.
This also includes cancer patients, people with HIV, as well as those who have not been vaccinated and have not had measles before.
Pozdnyakov also spoke about how contagious the disease is.
He compared that in the case of COVID, quarantine is imposed only on the apartment where the person who is infected is, and in a situation where someone gets measles in a hospital, quarantine is imposed on the entire building.
