Measles is highly contagious. It can spread very easily to others through the air. The virus can live up to two hours in the air or on surfaces in a space where a person coughed or sneezed. It 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.
Due to the highly contagious nature of measles, if you exhibit any of the above symptoms AND were at the identified location during the specified time periods, please call HealthLine 811 for symptom assessment and advice. You may also contact your physician or nurse practitioner AND inform them that you may have been exposed to measles. If you are symptomatic, please call your clinic or ER before presenting so that precautions can be taken to prevent further transmission.
Measles is prevented by vaccination. The measles vaccine is safe, effective and free. Please review your immunizations in your MySaskHealthRecord or discuss with your health practitioner to ensure your immunizations are up to date.
