Ontario health warns of measles exposure on Ethiopian flight and at Pearson Airport
Ontario health officials said on November 9 that a child who tested positive for measles may have exposed passengers on Ethiopian Airlines flight ET552, as well as visitors to Pearson International Airport and the Lakeridge Health Ajax-Pickering emergency department, and advised anyone potentially exposed to monitor for symptoms. Earlier, CHCH reported that provincial health authorities warned of possible measles exposure for individuals who passed through Pearson Airport, were on the specified flight, or visited the local emergency department. CBC and Durham Radio noted that Durham region officials were tracing a confirmed measles case in an unvaccinated child who had recently traveled abroad and had identified a public exposure site.
