Alberta Health Services is warning the public of possible measles exposures in both the North and South Health Zones.

The agency said it was notified of people with confirmed cases of the virus who had been in a public setting while infectious in Taber, Whitecourt and Grimshaw.

The province is grappling with a serious outbreak of the virus with at least 326 cases documented since March.

So far, there have been no deaths from measles in Alberta, but health experts warn that for every 1,000 cases, one to three people will likely die.
