Montreal health authorities moving to contain measles spread after two new cases
Montreal health authorities are trying to track up to 400 people they think may have been exposed earlier in the week to the measles virus.
Authorities have confirmed two secondary cases of the virus linked to a child who contracted the disease abroad, the city’s public health director, Mylene Drouin, said Thursday.
Anywhere between 200 and 400 people could have been exposed between May 11-14, she told reporters.
Drouin published a list of locations the infected people visited along with the time they were there. She said anyone who believes they were in the same locations at the specified times should verify if they have been vaccinated and monitor themselves for symptoms of the illness.
