    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A measles alert was issued for Sydney on Sunday and other airborne illnesses are on the rise, while Australia’s Covid load is relatively low after the summer’s surge of the JN.1 variant.

    “Symptoms include fever, sore eyes, runny nose and a cough followed three or four days later by a red, blotchy rash that spreads from the head to the rest of the body,” he said.

    On Friday, a paper published in the journal Science recommended national indoor air quality (IAQ) standards to protect against pollution and disease.

    In the paper, Morawska and a team of international experts wrote that people in urban and industrialised society spend more than 90% of their time indoors, and that most building codes did not focus on airborne disease transmission.

    “But the Covid-19 pandemic has made all levels of society, from community members to decision makers, realise the important of IAQ for human health, wellbeing, productivity and learning,” the researchers wrote.

    Professor Brendan Crabb, an Australian infectious diseases expert and the director of the Burnet Institute, said it was up to authorities to ensure clean air, because individual actions were “tinkering” and “like asking people to boil their own water”.
