Measles cases in Alberta are increasing day by day and their number reached 287 yesterday. 22 new cases were reported on Tuesday, of which 17 are from the province's South Zone.

No new cases have been reported from the Calgary area. Medical officials have been urging the provincial government for several months to make people aware of measles and the government launched a campaign for this on Monday.

Measles vaccination will be increased in the coming days across the province. A hotline has also been set up for Albertans, where they can check their vaccination status. This disease has broken records in Canada, including the province, in the past several years. This year, a large number of people have come into contact with it.
