Manitoba recorded dozens of new measles cases over the final days of March and into early April, as the province continues to be Canada’s hot spot for the highly contagious disease.

Between March 29 and April 4, Manitoba had 36 new confirmed measles cases and two new probable cases, data released by the province on Friday shows.

That brings the total count of confirmed and probable cases in March to 156 and 24, respectively, along with 17 confirmed cases and one probable case this month up to April 4.

With the latest update, Manitoba has recorded 429 confirmed infections and 63 probable cases so far in 2026 — more cases than in all of 2025.
