It’s only a single case so far, but Calgarians are being warned about possible exposure to a person who has a confirmed case of measles in the city.
Health officials say that before the case was confirmed, the person visited several locations around the city, prompting concerns other people may have been exposed and the virus could spread.
Measles is a highly contagious disease that can be prevented through immunization.
Alberta Health Services says the infected person is believed to have contracted measles in another country, but other people may have been exposed between Dec. 11 and Dec. 17.
During that time, the infected person arrived in Calgary on a WestJet flight from Seattle and visited the Real Canadian Superstore in Westwinds and the Alberta Children’s Hospital on several occasions.
