Fredericton – Cases of Messers continue to spread in several regions of Canada and worry the public health authorities.
In Ontario, most of the new cases of measles identified during last week have been reported in a popular summer tourist area.
Public Health Ontario reports the appearance of 32 additional measles cases, including 19 in the Huron-Perth region.
The public health office west of Kitchener Covers Stratford, renowned for its annual theater festival, as well as the beaches of Lake Huron, notably Clinton and Goderich.
This brings the total number of cases in Ontario to 2276 since the start of the hatch last fall.
Dr. Miriam Klassen, Hygienist in Public Health Huron-Perth, explained that this week’s “notable increase” was due to an exhibition during a private reception and a large household where several cases were.
“This is not a widespread increase in Huron-Perth, but rather a home,” noted Ms. Klassen.
“For those who wish to take advantage of all these wonderful summer activities and festivals throughout southwest Ontario, the best advice is to update their vaccination status.”
Public health experts invited to show cautious optimism in the face of the slowdown in the number of cases in Ontario, given the fluctuations in this highly contagious infectious disease.
Alberta is also struggling with a hatching, reaching 1376 cases since the start of the epidemic in March. This number exceeded that of the United States earlier this week.
The number of confirmed measles cases in the New Brunswick Center-South Center has more than doubled in the last 24 hours.
In New Brunswick, public health officials indicate that there are now 13 confirmed cases of this contagious infection in Sussex, when there were five on Wednesday.
Dr. Kimberley Barker, a regional hygienist of Sussex, said earlier this week that she suspected an increase in the number of cases because some infected people could simply stay at home without consulting a doctor.
The first cases of measles were reported in Sussex about a week ago, after a person went to the region from another province between June 22 and 23.
The Dre Barker stressed the importance of vaccination due to the increase in cases nationwide.
New Brunswick said that at least 10 % of children are not fully vaccinated against measles.
Provincial health authorities report 114 cases in British Columbia, 146 in Manitoba and 60 in Saskatchewan.
