Number of cases in Quebec measles outbreak reaches 11
CBC
Quebec's Health Ministry is urging people to be careful as it reports an 11th case of measles linked to a current outbreak, Sunday.
The infected person was contagious while visiting the Carrefour Laval mall and the Renaud-Bray bookstore there on Jan. 7. Public health officials say thousands may have been exposed to the virus.
The ministry has added more locations of possible exposure on its website. They include places in Montreal, Laval, the Laurentians and Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville.
This latest measles outbreak in Quebec was declared in December after a case was imported from abroad during the NATO conference at the Palais des congrès de Montréal in late November.
Symptoms of measles include high fever, runny nose, red eyes and redness of the face and body.
People who are protected against measles are unlikely to contract the disease. Those who are not and who have been in contact with a contagious person are encouraged to get vaccinated within 72 hours, outlines the ministry on its website.

It's been over 50 years since Brian Anderson was convicted of a murder he didn't commit, almost two since his name was finally cleared and about 14 months since he sued all three levels of government in hopes of getting compensated for everything he lost — but after all that time, he says neither he nor his co-accused have seen a cent.
