Two more cases of measles have been confirmed, bringing the total number of people infected in Ottawa to four.
An unimmunized child and an immunized adult are the latest to contract the bug, and were in contact with someone already infected.
“Cases such as these are not unexpected, as measles is a highly contagious respiratory disease where virtually all those who are not immune and come into contact with the virus will become infected,” reads a statement released by Ottawa Public Health on Tuesday.
It’s been three weeks since an unimmunized student contracted the disease in the Philippines.
A second case was confirmed on March 10.
People who were present at the following locations and times were potentially exposed to the measles virus and OPH advises contacting your doctor if unsure about immunization status:
