Measles spreadability during 3hrs of life from surface to human to human
Shareena-Miree made this Official Information request to Ministry of Health
This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Shareena-Miree to read a recent response and update the status.
From: Shareena-Miree
Dear Ministry of Health,
Is it possible for someone who is immune to the measles virus to come into contact with that virus while it is still contractible in areas where an infected person has been present, and carry that virus elsewhere without getting sick themselves but still assist in the spread of the virus by moving to another location and coming into contact with someone who is not immune and infect them if it is during the time that the virus would still be alive on a surface without the infected person present?
Yours faithfully,
Shareena-Miree McMahon
Ministry of Health
