With 812 cases of measles now notified in the Auckland region, more than 50 schools in the city have been affected and more cases are confirmed each day.

The Director General of Health, Ashley Bloomfield, says data modelling suggests the number of cases will continue to rise and the outbreak is expected to reach its peak in a fortnight.
