Measles cases on the decline in Ontario

It seems that measles cases in Ontario may be trending in the right direction. 

A Public Health Ontario report released late last week suggests a continuing downward trend in new measles cases.

The health agency reported 12 new cases in the province, down from 33 additions last week and 96 the week before that.  

Four more people were infected in southwestern Ontario... the area that's been hardest hit for months.

Ontario has had a total of 2,223 measles cases since an outbreak linked to travel in New Brunswick began last October.
