New Brunswick reaches 13 measles cases, more than double previous count
July 17, 2025
The number of confirmed measles cases in New Brunswick’s south-central region has more than doubled over the past 24 hours.
Public health officials say there are 13 confirmed cases of the contagious infection in Sussex, N.B., up from five on Wednesday.
Dr. Kimberley Barker, regional medical officer of health for Sussex, said earlier in the week she suspected there could be more cases because some infected people could simply stay home and not seek medical attention.
