?Measles wasn?t spreading in the community. It was very localized,? she said Wednesday.

Two of the infected people are adults and two are school-aged children.

The four were infected when they came into contact with a visitor from China...

Possible Measles Exposure at Multiple Locations in Mississauga Between May 23-28, 2014


Brampton, ON. (May 30, 2014) - Peel Public Health is investigating a confirmed case of measles in an adult from Mississauga. Members of the public may have been exposed to measles in a number of settings in Mississauga during the period of May 23 - 28, 2014. This case is linked to the confirmed measles exposure site at Milton District Hospital and is related to previous travel to the Philippines.

Anyone who was in the following places DURING THE TIMES LISTED may have been exposed to measles. The virus can only live outside the body (e.g., on surfaces and door handles) for up to two hours, so people who visited these locations at other times were not exposed.

May 23, Toronto Pearson International Airport, Air Canada Flight 1895 from Tampa Bay, arrival time into Terminal One at 10:36 p.m. AND the train from Terminal One to the Viscount Parking Garage

Visitors to the identified locations during the times noted should do the following:

Check your immunization records to make sure you and your children have had two doses of the measles vaccine (MMR or MMRV). Your child's immunization record (yellow card) or your doctor can provide you with this information. Two doses of measles vaccine are recommended for anyone born after 1969.
Watch for symptoms of measles until 21 days after possible exposure. These include a high fever; cold-like symptoms (cough/runny nose); sore eyes or sensitivity to light; small spots with a white centre on the inside of the mouth; and a red rash lasting four to seven days.

Anyone who shows symptoms should call their health care provider immediately and tell them they have been exposed to measles and feel unwell. DO NOT go to any medical facility without telling them before the appointment that you have been in contact with someone who has measles. ...
