Peel Public Health says members of the public may have been exposed to a confirmed case of measles at Toronto Pearson Airport on June 13.
Anyone who was on Ethiopian flight ET552 from Addis Ababa to Toronto or Air Canada flight AC410 from Toronto to Montreal on that date, or who was in Terminal 1 between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m., may have been exposed. Health officials are asking those people to monitor themselves for possible symptoms until July 4.
"Measles is a highly contagious disease that spreads easily to those who are not immunized or have not previously had measles," health officials said. Symptoms typically begin 7 to 21 days after infection and may include high fever, cough, runny nose, red or watery eyes, sensitivity to light, and a red rash lasting 4 to 7 days.
Anyone experiencing symptoms is asked to contact their health care provider or local public health unit immediately for further advice. According to the latest data from Public Health Ontario, there have been 27 cases of measles reported in 2026 as of May 26.
