The Montreal Children’s Hospital (MCH) is warning of a measles exposure.
The hospital says people who were in the pediatric emergency room (Glen B block, level S1) on New Year’s Day between 12:18 p.m. and 11:01 p.m. may have been exposed.
The highly contagious virus can spread through the air, the MCH says.
Quebec previously confirmed measles cases linked to a pediatric medical centre in St-Eustache.

The Quebec government and the MCH say vaccination is the best protection against measles.
