Public health officials in Nova Scotia are investigating a confirmed case of measles in the Halifax area.
They say officials will be directly notifying family members and friends who are known to have had close contact with the case.
Officials say this will help identify potential further cases as quickly as possible and ensure up-to-date immunization.
However, they say the public may have been exposed at multiple locations earlier this month, including Tanoor Restaurant in Bedford, the Family Focus Medical Clinic in Lower Sackville and the I-W-K’s emergency room.
