Ontario Health Minister says province’s measles strategy is working as cases rise across Canada
May 7, 2025
Ontario Health Minister Sylvia Jones says the government’s strategy in handling measles outbreaks across the province is working as national cases rise to the highest levels in almost three decades.Ontario, which clocked in more than 1,200 measles cases last week, has not given a dedicated news conference on the issue, unlike Alberta and Nova Scotia. Interviews with Ontario’s Chief Medical Officer of Health Kieran Moore have been sporadic and he has not appeared alongside Ms. Jones to speak publicly on the issue.
The Liberal election platform said a Carney government would send "more Canadian diplomats and officials abroad" to expand trade and "restore Canadian leadership."

(Of those cases, 1,221 are confirmed while the other 219 are probable.)
