✈️ Travel-linked measles in Ottawa
Ottawa Public Health is investigating measles in two Ottawa residents who were exposed outside Ontario. They visited several local spots October 1 to 3, including Tim Hortons on Hawthorne and Lancaster, Your Independent Grocer and Rexall at 1910 St. Laurent, Metro on Walkley, Subway on Hawthorne, McDonald's on St. Laurent and Ruby's Restaurant on York Street.
If you were there at the listed times, watch for fever, cough, red eyes and a rash for 21 days, and call your health care provider before visiting if symptoms appear.
Heading abroad soon? Measles is still circulating in many countries. Make sure you have two documented doses of MMR before you go.
Exposure times and monitoring dates are in our post. The risk to the general public remains low.
