Physicians brace for summer travel season as Alberta tops 800 measles cases

CBC
Mon, June 9, 2025 at 3:11 p.m. EDT·4 min read

As summer approaches, Alberta's measles case counts are expected to keep climbing and some experts worry transmission will become even more widespread.

With 31 new cases reported over the weekend, Alberta's total case count jumped to 809 by midday Monday.

Five people are currently hospitalized due to the virus, including two patients who are in intensive care.

The outbreaks began in March and while cases have been confirmed in all zones, the south, central and north zones are the hardest hit.

"This is not showing signs of slowing at this point," said Caroline Colijn, a professor and Canada Research Chair of Mathematics for Evolution, Infection and Public Health at Simon Fraser University.
