Measles case reported at preschool in Umeå, contact tracing underway

An employee at a preschool in Umeå has been infected with measles and extensive contact tracing is under way, reports P4 Västerbotten. According to the radio station, no further cases have been reported from the preschool and the operations are continuing as normal.

People who were at Klumpen preschool in Umeå on Thursday and Friday last week may have been exposed, according to Region Västerbotten's infectious disease control.

In August, measles spread across the country after an outbreak at the Urkult festival. Those who fell ill - a total of 36 people according to the latest update from the Public Health Agency - were mainly school-age children and young adults, most of whom were unvaccinated.
