The number of measles cases in the Sussex region has risen to 14.
Public Health has reported one new case of the virus since last Thursday.
An outbreak was declared last Monday, five days after the first case was reported on July 9.
That first case was believed to be related to another person from outside the province who travelled through the region in late June.
Despite an outbreak being declared, Public Health has said the risk remains low for people who are protected.
Anyone born in 1970 or later needs two doses of a measles-containing vaccine to be considered immune, unless they were previously infected.
Eligible adults can receive the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine at pharmacies. People under 18 should visit their public health office or primary care provider.
Children aged six to 11 months are eligible for an early dose of the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine if they are travelling internationally or within Canada to areas with known measles activity.
The measles virus is transmitted through the air or by direct contact with nasal or throat secretions of an infected person. Measles can be more severe in adults and infants and can lead to complications.
Early symptoms may include fever, cough, sore and/or red eyes, runny nose or tiny white spots in the mouth. Within three to seven days, a red blotchy rash will appear, first on the face and then spreading to the body, arms and legs.
People should self-monitor for measles symptoms for up to 21 days following a potential exposure, according to Public Health.
