      Manitoba’s monthly measles number reaches three digits for the first time
      By Harrison Shin
      Published: March 09, 2026 at 7:39PM EDT

      ​Manitoba is just 71 cases away from reaching the total confirmed measles cases in 2025.

      On Friday, the province updated its weekly measles number – with February 2026 reaching three digits for the first time.

      Dr. Santina Lee, provincial medical officer of health, said the transmission has been significant over the past year – with some possible super spreader events, such as Ag Days in Brandon in late January.

      “In the last couple of weeks, we are continuing to see some other transmission – some of them related to second generation of cases and some that aren’t necessarily tied back to that events that occurred at the end of January,” Lee said Monday.

      As of Feb. 28, 248 confirmed cases and 36 probable cases have been recorded since the start of 2026. Of those cases, 170 confirmed and 28 probable happened in February alone.

      The total number of cases for 2025 was 319 confirmed and 29 probable.

      Among the numbers were 12 cases in pregnant individuals and two cases of congenital measles – a case when a mother passes the disease onto her newborn, which can lead to serious complications, even death.​..

            Manitoba surpasses 400 measles cases so far this year
            Province accounts for nearly ⅔ of Canada's confirmed cases this year, federal data shows
            CBC News · Posted: Mar 27, 2026 4:32 PM EDT | Last Updated: 4 hours ago


            Manitoba continues to see measles cases in March, but not as many as last month.

            A total of 97 confirmed cases and 17 probable cases have been recorded in Manitoba so far this month, according to the latest data from Manitoba public health, released Friday. The data covers up until March 21.

            The province announced 34 new confirmed measles cases and nine new probable cases.

            Ninety-seven is more than the 81 confirmed cases Manitoba saw in January but a little more than half of the 175 cases recorded in all of February.

            A total of 407 cases have been recorded in Manitoba this year — 353 confirmed and 54 probable.

            Manitoba's measles case count this year is already higher than in all of 2025. There were 348 total cases in all of last year — 319 confirmed and 29 probable.

            So far this year, 37 people have been hospitalized because of measles, including four who were admitted to intensive care. A little more than half of them were 10 or younger, and three are unimmunized or have an unknown measles vaccination history.

            Manitoba remains Canada's measles hot spot, accounting for nearly two-thirds of the 582 confirmed cases across the country, federal government health data shows. Alberta has nearly a third of Canada's co​nfirmed cases this year...
