Measles in Manitoba
Measles is one of the most highly contagious diseases characterized by a red, blotchy rash. The measles virus spreads through close personal contact with an infected person and through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The virus can be spread by droplets that can stay in the air for several hours. Infection can result in serious illness or death.
Manitoba Public Health continues to monitor for measles cases and potential exposures within the province, including those linked to out-of-province travelers. The following page will be updated with exposure locations, along with information on symptoms, causes, treatment, and prevention:
