If you were at the Real Canadian Superstore in Winkler in late April, you may have been exposed to measles, says a warning from Manitoba public health officials.

Anyone who was at the grocery store at 175 Cargill Rd. on April 28 between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. should monitor for measles symptoms until May 20, the province said in a news release Sunday.

The notice comes a day after the province warned people might have been exposed to measles at a number of other southern Manitoba locations, including a medical centre, a retail store and an elementary school.

People can learn about the symptoms of measles and what to do on the Manitoba government website.

There were 10 confirmed and four probable cases of measles in Manitoba this year as of April 26, the most recent provincial data says.
