A case of measles has been confirmed in the Moncton area, New Brunswick Public Health said Friday.
Dr. Yves Léger, the chief medical officer of health, said the infected individual had travelled internationally and tested positive on their return. No other information about the individual was provided.
“Fortunately, this individual did seek care fairly quickly, so that helped to limit the number of potential exposures,” he said.
“It is certainly one of those infections that we are very concerned about in part due to its very contagious nature … that’s always why we take any measles case very seriously, and we respond very aggressively.”
According to the health advisory, people who have travelled to the following areas were potentially exposed to the virus:
