Finland's public health authority THL is contacting people who traveled on the ship from Tallinn to Helsinki with a Measles-infected passenger, Yle reports.
The Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) said the person was traveling on Eckerö Line's M/S Finlandia from 6.30 p.m. – 9 p.m. on Tuesday (January 7.)
Eckerö Line said it is contacting passengers and staff who were on the same ship. It is urging travelers to review their own as well as family members' vaccination status.

Measles usually starts with cold-like symptoms, followed by a rash a few days later. Some people may also get small spots in their mouth.
