    Health officials have confirmed a second case of measles in Metro Vancouver.

    According to a statement from Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH), this case was identified in a resident who lives in the health authority and travelled to Southeast Asia.

    This individual was in the same party as the first case, who has since been confirmed to be a resident in the Fraser Health region.

    VCH advises that members of the public may have been exposed to the measles virus if they were travelling on Air Canada Flight 66, which arrived at Vancouver International Airport on Feb. 11, 2025.

    The warning also applies to anyone who spent time in the international arrivals area of the airport, including the customers and baggage area, on Feb. 11 from 7 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.

    The health authority confirmed that there were no other public exposures, and officials are working to contact individuals who may have been exposed to the virus.​..

        Two new travel-related measles cases in B.C. as exposure areas increase
        by Ashley Joannou, The Canadian Press March 8, 2025 1:54 pm​

        Two new travel-related cases of measles have been confirmed in British Columbia’s Lower Mainland, bringing the recent tally to four, and leading to a call for people to confirm they have been fully vaccinated.

        An advisory from Fraser Health says both infected people travelled in the same party from South Korea as another person whose measles infection was identified earlier this week, but are not connected to a case identified in February.​..

        ...It said members of the public may have been exposed if they were on flight KE75 from Seoul to Vancouver on Feb. 17 or in the Vancouver International Airport on the same day from 3:20 p.m. to 6:20 p.m.

        Exposure was also possible at the PriceSmart supermarket at 9899 Austin Rd. from 9 a.m. to 11:20 a.m. on Feb. 20 and 21, at Big Way Hot Pot restaurant in Coquitlam from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Feb. 28, and at the Royal Columbian Hospital emergency department from 2:30 p.m. on March 3 to 2:30 a.m. on March 4.

        Newhouse said people who may have been exposed should watch for symptoms like fever, cough, red eyes or conjunctivitis, or a runny nose.​..
