Manitoba Health issues bulletin for measles exposure at large farm show
Manitoba Health urges vaccination and symptom monitoring after exposures at major agricultural event and Winkler locations; measles symptoms can appear within 7 to 21 days.
- On Feb. 8, 2026, Manitoba Health issued a bulletin warning of suspected measles exposure linked to Manitoba Ag Days at Keystone Centre, Brandon, and three Winkler locations including Stacked Pancake and Breakfast House.
- Manitoba Ag Days, touted as Canada's largest indoor farm show, draws visitors from across Canada and the North Central United States, increasing measles transmission risk because it spreads through respiratory droplets and tends to be more severe in infants and young children.
- On Jan. 20, Jan. 21 and Jan. 22, Keystone Centre exposures occurred between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m., and Agriculture in the Classroom ran 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Manitoba Health says.
- Manitoba Health urged people to ensure vaccinations are current, and unvaccinated individuals should reduce contact from the 5th to the 21st day after exposure, especially if symptoms develop.
- Incubation spans seven to 21 days, health officials say, with initial symptoms like fever, runny nose, drowsiness, irritability and red eyes, plus small white spots inside the mouth, followed by a red blotchy rash.
