Province warns of potential measles exposure in Winnipeg

Public health officials in Manitoba say people may have been exposed to measles at two locations in Winnipeg on May 11, 2025.

The province is alerting Manitobans of two Winnipeg locations where people may have been exposed to measles.

According to a news release Saturday, people who attended a Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra event at Centre Culturel Franco-Manitobain (CCFM) on May 11 between 12:50 p.m. and 4:15 p.m. may have been exposed to the disease.

Potential exposures were also reported at Dave and LaVerne’s Modern Diner on Lakewood Drive the same day between 2:30 p.m. and 6 p.m.

Anyone who visited either location on May 11 is asked to monitor symptoms until June 2.

Public health officials are also asking anyone who may have been exposed to contact Health Links-Info Santé.

Officials noted some of the recent measles cases did not have any known contact to a prior case.

Initial measles symptoms can include fever, runny nose, drowsiness, and red eyes, with a red, blotchy rash appearing on the face and moving down the body later. Symptoms generally appear between seven- and 21-days following exposure.
