The Durham Region Health Department is investigating a confirmed case of measles in the region after an adult was exposed during a recent trip abroad.
In a news release on Wednesday, the health department confirmed that “a local adult” is currently isolating at home after acquiring the illness, but it is not mentioned where in Durham region the adult resides.
Durham health has determined that individuals who travelled on the Royal Jordanian Airlines RJ271 flight on Thursday, March 28 departing from Jordan at 10:43 a.m. and arriving to Pearson airport on the same day at 5:24 p.m. local time — may have been exposed to the virus.

Face masks mandatory in all areas of Lakeridge Health facilities as of Monday, Oct. 16
As of today, Monday, Oct. 16, everyone is required to wear a medical grade mask when they enter any Lakeridge Health facility.
This is a change from the masking policy Lakeridge Health had in place in July 2023, when masks were only mandatory in patient-facing areas, and were optional but recommended in all other areas of the hospital.
