Saskatchewan health officials reported Friday that two children in the Regina area have the measles...

* April 4, from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
* April 5, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m....

REGINA - Saskatchewan?s Ministry of Health is warning residents about measles, something the province hasn?t seen much for more than a decade.

Two kids and four adults have caught the virus in the last year.

All six cases are in Regina and so far, officials say they are not believed to be connected.

Deputy chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Saqib Shahab believes what we're seeing is in reaction to outbreaks in other parts of the continent.
