MEASLES: Are Fewer New Cases a Sign of the Outbreak’s End?

Public Health Ontario reported ongoing measles cases and geographic spread in Ontario as of May 2025, with decreasing new cases in Chatham-Kent.
The measles outbreak, which began in late 2024, has primarily spread through unvaccinated individuals in Southwestern Ontario, the region most affected.
Since the outbreak began, 1,888 cases were reported in Ontario, including 167 in Chatham-Kent, with most cases in infants, children, and adolescents.
PHO indicated that the rise in cases is mainly linked to continued transmission among unvaccinated individuals, and 141 people affected by the outbreak have been hospitalized.
Despite widespread infection, there have been no deaths, and the recent fall in new cases in Chatham-Kent suggests the outbreak may be slowing locally.
