The number of confirmed cases of measles in B.C. has now climbed to 23, with a new case reported on Vancouver Island.
Island Health confirms a person in the region has developed the highly infectious disease, pushing the number of cases to three, although officials say the latest one does not appear related to the two confirmed last week.
Those locations include the Beacon Community Services Thrift Store at 7060 West Saanich Road and Fairway Market at 7108 West Saanich Road, both in the Brentwood Bay area, north of Victoria. Along with the three cases on the Island, 17 cases of measles have been diagnosed in the Vancouver area since February and two cases have been identified in 100 Mile House, in the southern Cariboo region of B.C.
