Three family members in Fukuoka City—a man and woman in their 30s and a teenage girl—have tested positive for measles, marking the first confirmed cases in Fukuoka Prefecture this year. One of the adults had returned from Vietnam in late February and developed symptoms in early March, with the infection believed to have spread within the household. Authorities are urging individuals with symptoms such as fever or rash to contact medical providers by phone before visiting. Source: NHK
