The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) is advising that someone with measles was at locations in North Battleford and Saskatoon within recent days. The SHA wants people who were at these locations to check themselves for symptoms.
Also, since measles is highly contagious, they advise calling first. Do not go to the hospital, walk-in clinic or health practitioner. Let staff know that you may have been exposed to measles.
