Toronto Public Health (TPH) has confirmed three cases of measles, one of which was acquired outside the country and brought to the city.
TPH has identified an Emirates Airline flight that originated out of India, seven WestJet flights and the Caledonian Bar on College Street as places where members of the public may have been exposed to the virus.
The Emirates flight left India on March 19 and arrived in Toronto on March 20, with a stopover in Dubai.
On March 22, a WestJet flight left Abbotsford, B.C., and made stops in Calgary and Ottawa before ending up in Toronto.
On March 23, a WestJet flight out of Toronto went to Montreal; while on March 24, a flight from Montreal returned to Toronto.
Also on March 24, a WestJet flight from Toronto travelled to Turks and Caicos Islands before returning to Toronto later that evening.
Patrons of the Caledonian Bar at 865 College St. may also have been exposed to the disease on March 21.
TPH says a confirmed case of the measles has also turned up at Huron Street Junior Public School, near St. George and Bloor streets. Parents have been notified and vaccine clinics are being held at the school.
Meanwhile, health officials in Mississauga are also warning about measles exposure after a child came down with the virus.
Anyone who visited Cora?s restaurant at 4559 Hurontario Street on March 25th between 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., Ocean?s Grocery Store at 4557 Hurontario Street, also on March 25th, between 12:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. and the emergency room at Credit Valley Hospital on March 26th between 12:30 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. may have been exposed to the disease.
