B.C.’s Interior health authority confirms additional measles cases
KAMLOOPS — British Columbia’s Interior health authority says it has confirmed additional cases of measles in the region spanning the province’s southern Interior.
A statement from Interior Health says communities in the region with confirmed cases now include Kamloops, Kelowna, Salmon Arm and the Nelson area.
The update comes after the health authority issued a statement on Tuesday saying it had confirmed a single measles case in Kamloops.
The cases this week follow an announcement on June 17 that a visitor to B.C. who had measles had travelled throughout the Interior while infectious.
