If you attended any of the above locations during the specified times, the SHA advises you to monitor measles symptoms for up to 21 days after exposure. Symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, fatigue, irritability, small, white spots in the mouth and throat (Koplik spots) and a red blotchy rash which develops on the face and spreads down the body about three to seven days after symptoms begin and can last four to seven days. The announcement comes a day after the SHA announced an exposure in the community of Preeceville. Previous cases have been reported in Rosthern, North Battleford, Saskatoon and Swift Current. Speaking to reporters Thursday morning, Saskatchewan's chief medical health officer Dr. Saqib Shahab says the province is now part of an unprecedented measles outbreak. According to Shahab, 27 cases of measles have been reported since mid-March - with 15 of those cases occurring the last week. Most of the infections involve children and all but one case involves unvaccinated residents. There have been two hospitalizations due to the virus. The health authority reiterated that vaccinations are the only way to prevent measles and is encouraging those who haven't had their two doses to get them. -More to come… -With files from The Canadian Press.

SHA warns of measles exposure in Preeceville
The Saskatchewan Health Authority logo can be seen in this CTV News file photo. The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) is warning the public of a measles exposure risk in the community of Preeceville following a confirmed case of the disease. Residents who visited the Shop Easy Foods, located at 102 Main Street N in Preeceville between 2 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. on April 29 are advised to monitor themselves for measles symptoms. 'If you were at an identified location during the specified times below, please monitor for measles symptoms for up to 21 days after exposure,' the advisory read. Symptoms related to measles include fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, fatigue, irritability, small, white spots inside the mouth and throat (known as Koplik spots), and a red blotchy rash – which develops on the face and spreads down the body about three to seven days after seven days after symptoms begin. If you were exposed and are unvaccinated or are exhibiting measles symptoms, the SHA encourages you to call the province's 811 HealthLine. Measles is highly contagious and can be spread very easily through the air. The virus can live up to two hours in the air or on surfaces in a space where a person has coughed or sneezed. The virus can spread from four days before a rash appears until four days after a rash develops. 'Through this period, a person needs to stay in strict isolation to avoid spreading the infection to others,' the advisory read.
