Peterborough Public Health (PPH) has retracted a list of potential measles exposure locations on Peterborough Transit buses from June 14 to 18 after a presumed case of measles was confirmed not to be measles.
The health unit originally shared the list on Friday (June 20) “out of an abundance of caution” according to an updated media release issued later the same day, stating there was a “high clinical suspicion (of measles) due to compatible symptoms and a known exposure.”
“Individuals who are susceptible to measles have a short timeframe for post-exposure care if exposed and because of this, PPH made the decision to share exposures prior to laboratory confirmation,” the media release states.
However, lab testing has confirmed the person was not infected with measles.
The supplied information of potential exposure locations included a list of Peterborough transit routes and dates and times, as shown below.
This information has now been retracted, as the person is confirmed to not be infected with measles.
