AHS says anyone who was in the U.S. departures area, near Gate 90/92 on May 19 between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. MT may have been exposed.

The infected person flew out of Calgary on Delta flight 3713, which was also coded as WestJet flight 6336, to Salt Lake City.

“Anyone who attended this location at this time, who was born in or after 1970 and has less than two documented doses of measles-containing vaccine, may be at risk for developing measles,” AHS said in its advisory.

“They should self-monitor for symptoms of measles and are strongly encouraged to review their immunization records.”

Officials say if anyone develops symptoms such as a fever of 38.3 C or higher, a cough, runny nose and/or red eyes and a rash that appears shortly after the fever begins, they should stay home and call AHS’ measles hotline at 1-844-944-3434 before seeking medical attention.

Individuals who believe they could be included in this advisory should monitor their symptoms until June 9.

As of Wednesday at 10 a.m., the provincial government says there have been 724 confirmed cases of measles in Alberta.
