It is caused by a virus that is spread from person to person when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Rubella is also spread by direct contact with the nose or throat secretions of an infected person. If a woman gets rubella during pregnancy, particularly during the first three months, her baby is at risk of having serious birth defects. Hope the information provided would be useful.
