The ACT has recorded its fourth measles case this year, with a person diagnosed with the contagious illness on Friday. 

The diagnosis has prompted a public health warning from ACT Health, which is expected to release more information on Saturday.

ACT chief health officer Andrew Pengilley said people could have been exposed to the case at a 5.30pm service at the Life Unlimited Church in Charnwood on Sunday or at the Calvary Hospital emergency department on Thursday between 12.30pm and 6.30pm. 

“We’re advising anyone who attended these venues to be aware for symptoms and to seek medical advice if they develop,” he said.
