Health officials in Peel Region have confirmed a Mississauga resident has contracted measles, as the total number of cases in the province approaches a 10-year high.

In a news release on Tuesday, Peel Public Health confirmed its second case of measles this year. Officials did not disclose how the man got infected but provided locations where the public may have been exposed.

Those who were at Silver Creek Convenience and Health Care Medical Clinic on May 10 between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., as well as Trillium Health Partners Mississauga Site Emergency Room at 9:15 a.m. on May 10 and 6:15 p.m. on May 11, are being advised to contact Peel Public Health at 905-799-7700 immediately.

Officials warn that measles spreads easily to those who are not immunized or have not previously had measles. Infants, unimmunized pregnant individuals and people with weakened immune systems are especially at risk.

Symptoms, which begin seven to 21 days after infection, include high fever, cough, runny nose, red and watery eyes with sensitivity to light and a red rash that lasts four to seven days.
