Hey there, time traveller!

REGINA – The Saskatchewan Health Authority says there are now six confirmed measles cases in the province.
Medical Health Officer Dr. David Torr says the most recent case was found in southwest Saskatchewan and involves an unvaccinated adult who travelled from Mexico and the United States.
He says the other cases have been reported in the province’s southeast, southwest and northwest.
Torr says those without measles shots should get vaccinated, as it’s the only way to prevent the highly contagious viral disease.
He says people can check their vaccination status online through MySaskHealthRecord or by phoning 811.
Measles symptoms can show up 21 days after exposure and include red eyes, runny nose, coughing and rashes.
