Measles is a highly contagious virus that spreads through the air when an infected person breathes, coughs, sneezes or talks. The virus can stay in the air or on surfaces for up to two hours. People can become infected if they breathe the contaminated air or touch the infected surface, then touch their eyes, nose or mouth.
Symptoms usually begin seven to 21 days after infection and may include fever, cough, runny nose and red watery eyes, followed by a red blotchy rash that starts on the face and spreads to the body and limbs. The virus can lead to pneumonia, inflammation of the brain and death.
This is the seventh and eighth confirmed cases of measles in Peel in 2025, more than double the three cases confirmed all of last year. Five of the cases are related to travel, while the other three are from close contacts or community spread.
Peel officials say the cases are not believed to be connected to the provincial outbreak, which has infected more than 1,800 people since October.
