The health unit advises if you were present during these timeframes and are not up-to date with your vaccinations, to call CK Public Health at 519-352-7270 ext. 5902.

"If you are experiencing symptoms of measles and need to visit a healthcare provider, emergency department or walk-in clinic, call first and tell them you have had an exposure and measles symptoms," the health unit said.

Symptoms can include a fever, runny nose, cough, drowsiness, irritability, and red eyes, the health unit said. A red rash appears on the face three to seven days after the start of the above symptoms. The rash may start from the face and progress down the body.

"It is important to note that the majority of individuals are vaccinated against measles, providing them with protection against the disease," the health unit said. "As such, the risk of contracting measles remains small to the broader community. However, as a precautionary measure, we urge all individuals to ensure they are up-to-date on their vaccinations."

The latest exposure warning comes after an alert about other potential exposures was issued Sunday by the health unit.
