FREDERICTON—Health officials in New Brunswick have confirmed another case of measles — bringing the total to nine in the Saint John area — and some officials predict the number could go higher. Dr. Jennifer Russell, the province’s chief medical officer, says the latest case is linked to a previous infection at Kennebecasis Valley High School. On Friday, public health officials issued a directive that staff and students at the high school must receive a measles booster shot if they want to continue working and studying at the school. District school officials have cancelled a number of planned out-of-province class trips at two other schools in the district as a result of the measles outbreak.
