Take note and get checked: The Ministry of Health has reported that a confirmed measles patient flew from Tel Aviv to Amsterdam via Athens on Wednesday, June 4, 2025. The patient was at Ben Gurion Airport at Gate C2 and boarded Aegean Airlines flight A3925, which departed at 15:00 from Tel Aviv and landed in Athens at 16:45. From there, the passenger continued on a connecting flight to Amsterdam, arriving at 20:06.<\/p>\n

Following an epidemiological investigation by the Central District Health Bureau, the Ministry of Health is urging passengers on this flight to verify their vaccination status. This is especially important for pregnant women, immunocompromised individuals, and infants under one year old, who are advised to contact their regional health bureau and consider receiving passive immunization.<\/p>\n

Have symptoms? Avoid large gatherings<\/strong>
\nThe Ministry emphasizes that anyone feeling unwell\u2014experiencing fever, runny nose, general malaise, or a rash\u2014should refrain from attending public events. Anyone who has been in contact with a confirmed measles case must follow the Health Ministry’s guidelines and avoid public spaces.<\/p>\n

If medical attention is required\u2014whether at a clinic or emergency room\u2014it is important to coordinate in advance and inform the medical staff.<\/p>\n
