Public health has changed a lot since covid. Here’s a really concrete example of that. In 2019, PH in Montreal published a really detailed list of places people were exposed to measles: bus routes, malls, walmart, etc. In 2024? The list is just healthcare, schools + the airport.

From a 2019 Montreal Gazette article: Those sites include the Walmart store on the Chomedey autoroute; the Second Cup outlet as well as common areas near Gate 2 at Carrefour Laval; the Laval Excellence gymnastics club on St-Martin Blvd. E.; the Oeufrier restaurant, the Dollarama store and Proxim pharmacy on Laurentides Blvd. Buses running on the No. 20 and 70 routes in Laval at specific times on June 26 are also deemed as at-risk areas. The areas and precise exposure times are available at the ministry’s website. A person considered contagious visited the mall on June 26. The call for vigilance applies to people who passed by the halls and the common areas near Gate 2 of Carrefour Laval, as well as the Second Cup café between 4 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. The list of measles exposures from the 2024 Montreal outbreak which includes on healthcare facilities, childcare/school and the airport.
