Update on Measles situation in Alberta

(Note ⚠️ The full release is too long to include in the description, I'll split it between here and a pinned comment, but it's the same as what's in the images) 

• via Alberta.ca/news
• Alberta.ca/Measles (58 confirmed cases as of April 11, 2025)

𝗔𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮’𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗲𝗳 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗢𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗿. 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗝𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲 𝗶𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗔𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲𝘀:

“Measles outbreaks are occurring in Canada, including Alberta. As of April 11, we have seen 58 confirmed cases in the province, and we are paying close attention to rising cases within the south and central zones. While the number of cases is concerning, I want to let Albertans know that public health officials are managing the cases and contacts as well as working with local leadership to support affected communities.

“As of April 11, an estimated 48 confirmed measles cases are likely to be past their period of communicability (the time the person can transmit measles to another person). However, it’s important to note that this does not necessarily reflect risk in the community as there may be people with undiagnosed measles, including people coming into the province from other places where it’s circulating, nor does it reflect the number of persons who have been exposed to measles.

“Measles is more serious than other common childhood illnesses. It can cause pneumonia, brain swelling and even death. Early symptoms of measles include a fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes and a blotchy red rash that appears three to seven days after the fever starts. If you are showing symptoms of measles, stay home and call 811 for further direction.
