FREDERICTON—Taxi users are being warned they may have been exposed to the measles virus in Saint John, N.B., through a previous passenger. We are asking that if you did take the cab, that you are asked to be watching for symptoms of measles,” Russell said. There have been 11 confirmed cases of the measles in New Brunswick — all in the Saint John area. “In the Saint John area, on average our members are getting five to six calls an hour with respect to questions about measles,” he said Friday. On Thursday, U.S. health officials reported 971 measles cases so far this year, the highest tally in 27 years.
