Gold Coast Public Health Unit (GCPHU) is urging people to monitor for symptoms after a confirmed case of measles attended a Gold Coast event while unknowingly infectious.

Anyone who visited the Sea World ‘Spooky Nights’ event (including the exit gift shop) on Friday 24 October between 6:30pm – 9pm may have been exposed to the virus.

While this location does not pose an ongoing risk, people who attended this location should be on the lookout for signs and symptoms up to and including Tuesday 11 November.

For Gold Coast Health Dr Jessamine (Jessie) Liu, caring for older adults is about more than managing medical complexity – it’s about humanity, connection and restoring dignity when people need it most.
