As many of you are celebrating Family Day a Niagara family is dealing with a measles situation. 3 new confirmed cases of the highly infectious disease were announced today and all are from members of the same family.

There are now 5 cases in Niagara, part of 16 across the province. Public health says that if you’ve been exposed and have symptoms call your doctor, don’t go to a clinic or hospital. Measles is so infectious it will stay in a room hours after the infected person has left.
