Measles outbreak linked to New Brunswick Mennonite gathering

A measles outbreak has been linked to a large Mennonite gathering in New Brunswick last fall. The event brought together many people, and the virus quickly spread from there. After the gathering, cases were reported across Canada. Health officials have raised concerns about the outbreak spreading further. Measles is highly contagious, and experts warn that people who are not vaccinated are at a greater risk. Vaccination is an effective way to prevent the disease. Authorities are urging anyone who attended the gathering and is not vaccinated to get the measles shot. They are also monitoring the situation closely to contain the outbreak.
