The latest warning comes when state secretary for health, Matt Hanbad, said that people who spread myths about the misdeeds of vaccines had "blood on their hands".

The measles epidemic in Europe peaked in ten years last year and increased again in the first three months of 2019.

The virus is highly infectious and can lead to life-threatening complications, including pneumonia and swelling of the brain that can lead to deafness or neurological damage.

International youth gatherings are a prime opportunity to spread the virus to those who are unprotected, some of whom may not have been eligible for the vaccine because of a medical problem.

Mr Hanbad said the government "would not rule out" mandatory vaccination to combat the measles outbreak.
