Health officials in Manitoba are asking anyone who attended Ag Days in Brandon and the surrounding area to monitor for symptoms of measles.
“Possible exposures may have occurred in the city on the event days, on the days leading up to it and the days following it…,” Manitoba Health said in a Feb. 6 statement.
Measles can appear between seven and 21 days of infection.
Early symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose and red, watery eyes.
Between three and seven days after symptoms begin, a rash appears on the face and spreads down the body, arms and legs.
It takes about two to three weeks to recover from measles, Health Canada says.
