How and when is measles transmitted?
Measles is highly contagious. A person with measles may spread the disease to others within a period of four days before the rash appears and the four days following. The virus is spread through coughs and sneezes because it is hosted by secretions in the nose and throat. The virus can survive for two hours in the atmosphere or on any surface during which time it may still infect others.
