CK Public Health officials are asking if the public was present at the above spots during the stated times and they are not up-to date with their vaccinations to call CK Public Health at 519-352-7270 ext: 5902.
They're also asking people to call ahead if they need to visit a healthcare provider, emergency department, or walk-in clinic if they are experiencing symptoms of measles and tell them they've had an exposure and measles symptoms.
Measles symptoms can include a fever, runny nose, cough, drowsiness, irritability, and red eyes. A red rash appears on the face three to seven days after the start of the symptoms and it may start from the face and progress down the body.
The majority of individuals are vaccinated against measles, providing them with protection against the disease, noted CK Public Health, adding the risk of contracting measles remains small to the broader community.
The local health unit urges all individuals to ensure they are up-to-date on their vaccinations as a precautionary measure.
