British Columbia's Interior Health Authority has confirmed additional cases of measles in the southern Interior region, including Kamloops, Kelowna, Salmon Arm, and the Nelson area.
Earlier this week, a single measles case was confirmed in Kamloops, following an announcement on June 17 about a visitor with measles who had traveled through the Interior while infectious.
Other health authorities in Northern and Fraser regions also reported confirmed measles cases in Chilliwack and Wonowon, with concerns about local spread.
