‘Complete failure of leadership’: Alberta’s former CMOH on current measles outbreak
- Huron Perth Public Health announced multiple recent measles exposures in Listowel, Stratford, and surrounding areas in April 2025.
- These exposures follow ongoing regional and national outbreaks driven by low vaccination rates and community spread including Mennonite populations and other groups.
- Affected locations include Veky's International Cuisine on April 19, Stratford General Hospital departments on April 22-23, and Seaforth Community Hospital on April 24, with people urged to monitor symptoms for 21 days.
- Symptoms begin 7 to 21 days after exposure and include fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and a spreading blotchy rash, with measles being airborne and contagious from four days before rash onset.
- Public health authorities recommend isolation until contact, pre-notification before medical visits, mask use, vaccination, and enhanced public messaging to reduce outbreaks and potential complications.
