Health officials in York Region say they are investigating a “unique” case of measles as it is unknown how the man contracted the contagious disease.

In a news release on Thursday, York Region Public Health (YRPH) said the patient, who is in his 30s, had not travelled recently and had no contact with anyone ill.

He is the fourth confirmed case of measles in Ontario. The other three cases involved children who recently travelled abroad.

“YRPH is reaching out to known contacts who may have been exposed to this confirmed case of measles virus. Additional exposure locations are under investigation, and impacted contacts will be directly notified.”

YRPH also released the following list of locations where the public may have been exposed to the case:

Melt N Dip Restaurant (1018 Eglinton Avenue East #4 in Mississauga) on Feb. 24 from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Mackenzie Health Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital (Main Waiting Area) Emergency Department (3200 Major Mackenzie Drive West in Vaughan) on Feb. 26 from approximately 2:40 p.m. to 4:55 p.m.

Vellore Medical Clinic (10395 Weston Road in Woodbridge) on Feb. 26 from approximately 12:10 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

YRPH advises anyone who may have been at these locations and times to immediately confirm they have been vaccinated against measles.

Uncanny. Like it snuck in from some foreign land or something.

I’m sure it doesn’t have anything to do with unchecked open borders

"Just how contagious is measles from someone who actively has it?"
I had German measles as a elementary student in the late 1930s. I remember boing put to bed in the guest room with the blinds shut. I wonder if I have any antibodies left, or if it matters.
