Island Health is investigating a likely case of measles, and is still in the process of contacting the parents of approximately 300 students who may have been exposed to the infection at Selkirk Montessori School in Victoria, B.C. Penny Barner, executive director of the Pacific Montessori Society said the school was advised of the probability that a younger sibling of one of the students had been exposed to measles. Up to 30 individuals at the school may not be immunized according to Island Health. Unvaccinated students won't be allowed to attend Selkirk Montessori School for 21 days. On April 10, 2019 the Island Health Authority confirmed a total of six cases of measles infection on the South Island.
