Two Brandon restaurants have been identified as possible measles expsoures sites and Manitoba public health officials are warning people to watch for early symptoms.
Anyone who was at The Dock on Princess on April 1 from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. should monitor for signs until April 23. Similarly, those who went to Browns Socialhouse on March 30 from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. should watch for symptoms until today.
There’s been a total of 474 confirmed measles cases and 68 probable ones across Manitoba this year, with 60 new cases reported in the first 11 days of April, provincial data current up to Friday show.

So far, Manitoba has had 155 more cases of measles in 2026 compared to the total amount last year.
Measles is a highly contagious disease and is characterized as a red blotchy rash.
The majority of cases involve unvaccinated or under-vaccinated children.
Public Health encourages people to ensure their immunization records are up to date with the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine (MMR or MMRV), which can be checked by contacting their local public health office, doctor, nurse practitioner or pharmacist.
