Measles-Outbreak – big jump in cases

By Rosalind Russell – Public Health Ontario is reporting another big jump in measles cases.

There have now been 470 cases confirmed since the outbreak began last October.

Of those, 120 have been reported in just the past week alone.

Most of the cases are still being found in the Southwestern Public Health region, where almost half the infections have been reported.

Most of those who’ve contracted the highly contagious virus have been unvaccinated.
