Health Officials Warn of Possible Measles Exposure in Durham Region

Health officials are tracing contacts and warning residents after exposure at an emergency waiting room, a flight and an airport.

  • The Durham Region Health Department is warning the public of potential measles exposure after a local unimmunized child tested positive for the virus following recent international travel.
  • Public exposure may have occurred on Ethiopian Airlines Flight ET552 arriving at Toronto Pearson International Airport on November 3, or at the Lakeridge Health Ajax-Pickering emergency waiting room that day.
  • Anyone present in those locations must monitor for symptoms, including high fever and red rash, until November 24, and should confirm they have received two doses of the measles vaccine.
  • Residents who believe they were exposed should stay home if symptoms develop, call ahead before visiting clinics, and wear a well-fitted mask when seeking medical assessment.
  • Children under the age of one, unimmunized pregnant people, and those with weakened immune systems face increased risk of complications from measles, according to health officials.
