Report that moron to your supervisor. She has no respect at all for other people. She is jeopardizing the health of everyone she comes into contact with. Pregnant women that contract certain types of measles are more prone to have babies with birth defects. If you work near her, or handle paperwork, etc. that she has handled, you could get measles.

It depends Lorraine,have you had the measles before? If you have, then you can't get it again but if you haven't then yes you can...it isn't such a bad dose. And anyway the incubation period was before she broke out not now. So the chances are you have been in contact with people on public transport who have had measles and you've never known.

If you've had measles, you should be okay but if not the chances are high.
However, since it is classed as a contagious disease, your employers have a duty of care to the rest of the workforce to provide a safe working environment.
I think the relevant law regarding this is RIDDOR - Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations, 1995.
They must send her home on sick leave and take steps to ensure the safety of everyone else. They run the risk of prosecution as well as a reduced workforce.

You should have gotten vaccinated for measles when you were younger. Check your medical records to find out, if you weren't, you may want to go ahead and get it done because measles is highly contagious.

Depends if you have had the vaccine or not. if you work closely with her and in enclosed spaces theres a good chance you may catch them. If its someone you only pass in the corridor you should be ok. If you have caught them the syptoms will start about 2 weeks later x
