The province is notifying the public of two locations in Winnipeg where people may have been exposed to measles.

The locations are:

• The Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra event at Centre Culturel Franco-Manitobain (CCFM) located at 340 Provencher Blvd. on May 11 from 12:50 p.m. to 4:14 p.m.
• Dave and LaVerne’s Modern Diner located at 15 Lakewood Dr. on May 11 from 2:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.

Public health is asking those who may have been exposed to measles at these locations to monitor for symptoms until June 2, according to a Saturday media release.

Measles symptoms generally appear seven to 21 days after exposure and may include a fever, runny nose, drowsiness, irritability and red eyes. Small white spots may develop on the inside of the mouth or throat and a red, blotchy rash can appear on the face and spread down the body.

More information on measles and immunization can be found on the province’s website.
