Another man has contracted measles, bringing the number of people affected by the current outbreak to 20. That's five more than for the whole of 2018.

The Centre for Health Protection says the latest case involves a 27-year-old man who had been to Japan during the incubation period. It said the man hadn't been in contact with any measles patients and that he'd previously been vaccinated.

He was diagnosed after being admitted to hospital on Thursday. He's now in stable condition at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
