Manitoba health officials warn of possible measles exposure at Dugald School
Additional exposure sites on multiple bus routes, emergency department waiting room between April 29 and May 2
Provincial health officials say members of the public may have been exposed to measles at a rural K-8 school and multiple bus routes servicing it.
Anyone who was at Dugald School on Holland Street in Dugald — just east of Winnipeg — between 8:45 a.m. and 5:40 p.m. on April 29-30 or May 2 is asked to monitor their symptoms until May 24, public health said in a Tuesday update.
On the same dates, people may have also been exposed on Bus 26 (Route 72), which services Dugald School along with Oakbank Elementary, Springfield Middle School and Springfield Collegiate Institute.
Another bus route servicing the school — Bus 128 (Route 79) — was a possible exposure site on April 29-30 and May 2. That route also serviced Oakbank Elementary, Springfield Middle School and Springfield Collegiate Institute, as well as a Dugald School field trip to the Manitoba Museum.
The province's latest warning also includes an emergency department waiting room at Boundary Trails Health Centre, between Morden and Winkler.
Anyone who was at the Boundary Trails emergency department waiting room on April 27 from 4:11 p.m. to 10:07 p.m. should watch for symptoms until May 19, the health officials said.
As of April 26, the latest data available, Manitoba had seen 10 confirmed cases and four probable cases of measles so far this year.
