Measles is extremely contagious and spreads easily through the air.

Symptoms include a fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, and a rash that starts three to seven days after a fever starts, usually beginning behind the ears or face and spreading down the body.

Anybody with symptoms should stay at home and call Alberta’s measles hotline at 1-844-944-3434 before visiting any healthcare facility or provider, including a family physician clinic or pharmacy, AHS says.

Measles can cause ear infections, pneumonia, brain inflammation, premature delivery and sometimes death.
