MONTREAL – A Montreal Hospital is warning its patients and employees about possible measles exposure.
The McGill University Health Center says the employee worked at its Glen site during the contagion period, between March 23 and 27.
Infectious disease specialist Marie-Astrid Lefebvre says the employee has no contact with patients and there is no evidence of the virus has spread.
But since they are spread by air or by direct contact, the hospital is contacting everyone who was present in the same location as the employee during their shifts.
Other measles cases have been confirmed in Canada in recent weeks, including at least two in Ontario and 23 in British Columbia.
Symptoms of measles include fever, cough, runny nose, red and watery eyes, and tiny white spots in the mouth, followed by two arms and legs.
