HALIFAX – Health officials in Nova Scotia say the measles outbreak in the province’s northern zone has risen by five cases to 35.
Officials area also issuing two public exposure warnings.
One warning is for the Kennetcook area, also in the northern health zone, where they say the public may have been exposed to measles at a local pharmacy on July 3 and July 6.
The other public exposure occurred at a health centre in Lower Sackville, located in the central zone, on July 6.
Officials first reported a measles case in the northern zone on July 7.
They have said that the cases in that zone involve “low-vaccine” communities.
