Those individuals are urged to review their immunization records and monitor for symptoms, especially if they need to visit a healthcare facility in the coming days.
The province has seen a resurgence of measles this year, with nearly 200 confirmed cases so far in 2026. That follows a significant spike in 2025, when Alberta recorded more than 2,000 cases.
Calgary has reported only two confirmed cases this year, while nearly half of all 2026 cases have been identified in the South Zone.
