Some new Manitoba measles cases not connected to other known ones, officials say
WINNIPEG - The number of measles cases in Manitoba has jumped to 20, and health officials say some of the recent cases had no contact with previous ones. Dr. Davinder Singh, a medical officer of health for the Southern health region, says that's concerning because it's unclear where those people became infected. Most of the cases have been in the Southern health region and Singh says it is connected to the area's low vaccination rate. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Singh says the number of measles cases is rising in Alberta and Ontario as well, and there are concerns the Manitoba count could continue to go up. The government is advising of a possible exposure for people who were in the emergency department of the Boundary Trails Health Centre, near Winkler, on the evening of April 27. The province also lists Dugald School, east of Winnipeg, and some school buses in the area, on April 29, April 30 and May 2. This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 7, 2025.

Manitoba health officials warn of possible measles exposure at Dugald School
Provincial health officials say members of the public may have been exposed to measles at a rural K-8 school and multiple bus routes servicing it. Anyone who was at Dugald School on Holland Street in Dugald — just east of Winnipeg — between 8:45 a.m. and 5:40 p.m. on April 29-30 or May 2 is asked to monitor their symptoms until May 24, public health said in a Tuesday update. On the same dates, people may have also been exposed on Bus 26 (Route 72), which services Dugald School along with Oakbank Elementary, Springfield Middle School and Springfield Collegiate Institute. Another bus route servicing the school — Bus 128 (Route 79) — was a possible exposure site on April 29-30 and May 2. That route also serviced Oakbank Elementary, Springfield Middle School and Springfield Collegiate Institute, as well as a Dugald School field trip to the Manitoba Museum. The province's latest warning also includes an emergency department waiting room at Boundary Trails Health Centre, between Morden and Winkler. Anyone who was at the Boundary Trails emergency department waiting room on April 27 from 4:11 p.m. to 10:07 p.m. should watch for symptoms until May 19, the health officials said. As of April 26, the latest data available, Manitoba had seen 10 confirmed cases and four probable cases of measles so far this year.
