Passenger was diagnosed with measles

The Health Board has advised passengers who traveled on the 'Gabriella' from Tallinn to Helsinki on July 26, 2024, to keep an eye on their health after one person aboard the ferry was diagnosed with measles. Due to the very contagious nature of the disease, all passengers must be careful. It can be particularly dangerous to people without immunity, such as those who have not been vaccinated. The infectious disease epidemiology department of the Health Board was clarifying the circumstances of the case. The agency was communicating with its Finnish counterpart to obtain additional information. The ship left Tallinn at 2 p.m., and people on this trip should first check whether they have been vaccinated against measles or have previously contracted the disease. Then people can be more confident that they are protected against measles. Those without immunity should monitor their health in the coming weeks. The interior of the ship is usually well ventilated, but still crowded, and the virus spreads in the air.
