An investigation is ongoing and the province notes that other possible exposure locations might be added.
Anyone who was at the locations above during the times listed, is urged to check their immunization records and make sure they are up to date with a measles vaccine — measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) or measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (MMRV).
The province says that anyone who was at the potential exposure locations who are not immunized should get vaccinated, watch for symptoms, and reduce their exposure to others.
Symptoms of measles generally appear seven to 21 days after exposure. Initial symptoms of measles may include fever, runny nose, drowsiness, irritability, and red eyes. Small white spots may also develop on the inside of the mouth or throat.
Several days after the initial symptoms, a red blotchy rash appears on the face and progresses down the body. Measles can lead to complications including ear infections, diarrhea, pneumonia (lung infection) and encephalitis (brain inflammation).
