Quebec declares end to measles outbreak after no cases reported for 32 days

QUÉBEC — Quebec’s Health Department has declared an end to the measles outbreak in the province.

A spokeswoman said today the department determined the outbreak was over after no new cases were reported over the weekend.

Marie-Christine Patry says an outbreak can be considered over if 32 days pass without a new reported infection.

Quebec’s outbreak began in December 2024, and involved a contagious traveller who had visited the province before they were diagnosed.
