The Saskatchewan Health Authority is warning the public about a potential measles exposure risk at a Rosthern business.
According to the health authority, anyone who visited the Rosthern Gas Plus on Highway 312 between 6:45 a.m. and 9:15 a.m. on Wednesday should monitor themselves for measles symptoms for up to 21 days.

Symptoms of measles include fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes, fatigue, irritability, a red, blotchy rash and small white spots inside the mouth and throat.
Anyone who was exposed was advised to call the 811 health line if they are unvaccinated, unsure of their vaccination status or if they develop symptoms.
“Anyone potentially exposed may be eligible for preventative treatment for up to six days after exposure if they are unvaccinated, pregnant, under one year of age, or immune suppressed,” the health authority said in a statement.
“Do not attend a clinic in person if you are symptomatic.”
According to data from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health, 60 cases of measles were reported in the province between March 14 and Wednesday, and 41 of those cases were in children 17 and under.
The ministry said 52 of the 60 patients were not vaccinated against measles.
So far in 2025, measles cases have resulted in six patients being hospitalized and one ICU admission, but no deaths.
