Alberta has now seen more than 400 cases of measles within the last two months. The province confirmed 14 new cases Thursday, bringing the provincial total to 409 since the beginning of March. More than 300 of the total cases of the highly contagious disease have been found in children, with 127 cases confirmed in those under age five.
The government says 35 people have been hospitalized. More than half of all cases have been in southern parts of Alberta, while just six cases have been confirmed in the Edmonton area. Measles symptoms include fever, coughing, runny nose, red eyes and a blotchy, red rash that appears three to seven days after the fever starts.
