Health Unit says no confirmed cases of the measles

A double dose of good news from the Northwestern Health Unit.

It says not only is the measles outbreak in the province over, but there have been no reported cases here.

The first case of the measles was reported in October of 2024.

Local residents are being credited because they were checking destination risks when traveling, getting vaccinated, and watching for symptoms, kept communities safe.

The Health Unit continues to remind local residents that measles is a serious and highly contagious disease and is still a concern in other parts of the country and across the globe.
