Possible exposure risk after Brampton baby contracts measles

A Brampton baby tested positive for measles according to Peel Public Health officials and the diagnosis is leading the agency to warn the public about possible exposure to the disease.

Anyone who hasn’t been vaccinated or hasn’t had measles in the past and visited the following places in Brampton at these specific times could be infected with this highly contagious disease.

  • March 27, Muslim Community Services (third floor) and all common areas in the building at 150 Central Pkwy., 8 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.

Measles symptoms include a high fever, cold-like symptoms such as a cough or runny nose, sore eyes or sensitivity to light, small spots with a white centre on the inside of the mouth, and a red rash lasting four to seven days.
