Measles is contracted through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It can also spread by touching surfaces contaminated with the virus and then touching the face, particularly the nose or mouth. The virus is highly contagious and can remain in the air for up to two hours after an infected person has left the area. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent measles.
