Basic recommendations for the population in case of measles:

1) Parents check the vaccination status of their child against measles, if there is no vaccination, get a preventive vaccination against measles;
2) parents of children who have not been vaccinated against measles for various reasons should limit participation in various cultural events and visits to playgrounds in shopping and entertainment centers;
3) when the first symptoms of the disease appear with catarrhal symptoms (fever, headache, weakness) and rash, you must consult a doctor, undergo a measles examination and follow all his recommendations.

Remember that disease is always easier to prevent than to treat!
