Hey there, time traveller!

Manitoba Health announced two new confirmed cases of measles in the province Wednesday.
That brings the total number of confirmed and probable infections reported in Manitoba to 12 since February 10.
Both individuals attended Southwood School in the Rural Municipality of Stanley during the infectious period, a news release late Wednesday stated. The cases were confirmed after recent travel to Mexico.
Public health officials asked anyone who may have been exposed at the school on April 14-15 or on school buses servicing Southwood and Prairie Dale schools on those days to contact Health Links at 204-788-8200 in Winnipeg or toll-free in Manitoba at 1-888-351-9257.
The measles virus spreads through close contact with an infected person and through the air via cough or sneeze. The virus can be spread by droplets that can stay in the air for several hours. Infection can result in serious illness or death. Symptoms generally appear 21 days after exposure.
Public health officials urge Manitobans to stay up to date on immunization, the only means of protection from measles.
