Alberta's measles outbreak continues to grow, with 19 new cases reported in just one day. That pushes the total number of infections past 500 since the outbreak began in early March—a worrying milestone for public health officials.
What This Means: Measles is highly contagious, and this surge in cases suggests the outbreak isn't slowing down. With vaccination rates dipping in some areas, health experts are likely sounding the alarm about potential wider spread. For parents, travelers, and anyone in close-contact settings, this is a reminder to check vaccination status and take precautions.
