The Health Ministry says that a patient with measles traveled by plane from Budapest to Tel Aviv recently, exposing other passengers to the disease.
The passenger flew on Arkia flight number IZ292 from Budapest on Monday, August 25, at 9:50 p.m. and landed at Ben Gurion Airport on August 26 at 3:00 a.m.
Since this is a highly contagious disease, the ministry is asking individuals who were on this flight to ensure that they are vaccinated in accordance with recommendations.
Measles is a highly contagious viral disease that manifests itself in a fever, general malaise, runny nose and a rash, and may have serious and even life-threatening complications.
