Peel Public Health (PPH) is investigating exposure related to a confirmed case of measles.
The public may have been exposed to the measles virus on June 13, 2026, during the following flights or at this location:

• Flight ET552 Addis Ababa to Toronto and Air Canada AC410 Toronto to Montreal

• Terminal 1, Pearson International Airport (6301 Silver Dart Dr., Mississauga, ON L5P 1B2) between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. ET.

Peel Public Health directly contacts people who were at exposure sites if possible. PPH advises anyone who was at these sites or thinks they have been exposed to measles to do the following:

• Check their immunization record to confirm they and their family members are up to date with measles vaccinations (MMR or MMRV). Those who are unsure can check with their health care provider. Two doses are generally recommended for anyone born in or after 1970. In general, those born before 1970 are considered protected against measles.

• Anyone experiencing measles symptoms (see below) should contact their health care provider, or if not available, their local public health unit as soon as possible to get advice. Do not attend work or school. Before going to see your health care provider, inform them you may have been in contact with someone who has measles.

Measles is a highly contagious disease that spreads easily to those who are not immunized or have not previously had measles.

Measles symptoms begin 7-21 days after infection and may include:
• High fever
• Cough
• Runny nose
• Red, watery eyes (conjunctivitis, i.e. pink eye), sensitivity to light
• Red rash lasting 4 to 7 days (starting on the face and spreading downward)

The risk of getting measles in Peel is low, but it is still important to stay informed.
Peel Public Health continues to monitor the situation in Peel and investigates every new case.

For questions, call Peel Public Health at 905-799-7700 / 1-888-919-7800 (toll-free).
Phones are answered from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday.

June 20 is World Refugee Day. No one should have to flee their home to escape conflict or persecution.

Peel Region created a separate, culturally responsive system of care for homeless asylum claimants. It provides tailored supports while protecting capacity in the local homeless system.

In partnership with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, Peel Region opened the Peel Region Reception Centre in February 2025. That year, we supported 3,535 asylum claimants experiencing homelessness.
