No new measles cases since August prompts Manitoba to declare disease outbreak over
Public health officials in Manitoba say a provincewide measles outbreak is over.
That comes more than a year after it first reported new cases of the disease.
The government says the last laboratory-confirmed case was identified in August.
A total of 1,038 measles cases have been documented in the province since the outbreak was first reported.
The province says there were 52 hospitalizations, with half of them involving children under the age of 10.
Of the total reported cases, 87 per cent of the people were either not immunized or their immunization status was unknown.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Oct. 16, 2026.

Tout ce qu'on sait sur la situation d'Éloïse à Occupation Double Chez Nous
Il n'y a pas que Capitaine Rebondissement qui amène des twists dans l'aventure cette saison d'Occupation Double. Cette année, il semblerait qu'un des plus gros scandales d'OD ait eu lieu Chez Nous. Éloïse, la top 1 de Charles, le leader, est actuellement au coeur des conversations des fans de l'émission.
Impossible de se rendre sur les réseaux sociaux sans tomber sur la fameuse rumeur, partagée par Brendan Mikan sur Instagram.
Selon ses dires, Éloïse serait en danger d'élimination cette semaine puisqu'elle aurait triché. Un manque de transparence qui pourrait faire sourciller Charles.
Voici plus d'informations sur la situation actuelle.
La sélection de l'éditeur : Yury d'OD Bali est maintenant papa pour la première fois et voici la mignonne annonce
Quelle est la rumeur au sujet d'Éloïse d'OD?
Selon la rumeur partagée par Brendan Mikan, qui n'a pas été commentée par la production, la candidate avait droit à un iPad pour se divertir, sur Netflix uniquement, pendant son temps d'isolement, en attendant les résultats de son test COVID-19.
Elle aurait utilisé celui-ci de manière interdite, pour aller sur le Web :
« Éloïse, pendant qu'elle était en confinement à cause de son dépistage COVID, elle avait accès à un iPad. Avec son iPad, madame avait accès à Netflix. Mais, elle n'a pas juste utilisé son iPad pour Netflix, elle a été capable d'apprendre des choses sur l'aventure et elle est allée chercher des informations sur OD.
« Évidemment, tu n'as pas le droit de faire ça. Elle a plein d'avantages et elle sait plein de choses qu'elle n'est pas supposée savoir parce qu'ils n'ont pas accès à l'Internet.»
Est-ce qu'un candidat s'est déjà fait éliminer d'Occupation Double pour avoir transgressé les règles?
Aucun candidat ne s'est jamais fait virer d'Occupation Double pour un manquement aux règles. Par le passé, la plus grosse conséquence vue sur le plateau fut des excuses publiques lors de propos déplacés.
On se rappelle que d'autres candidats ont brisé les règles, comme Pézie et Oli, d'OD Grèce, qui se connaissaient déjà et avaient menti à toute l'équipe.
Généralement, le destin des candidats est uniquement dans les mains des autres participants. La production a toutefois un grand pouvoir sur la durée de leur aventure, étant donné qu'elle contrôle les twists qui peuvent avantager ou désavantager les candidats.
Tout porte donc à croire que, si la rumeur était vraie, le destin d'Éloïse serait dans les mains des candidats ce dimanche.
Qu'est-ce qu'Éloïse pourrait avoir découvert?
Si la rumeur dit vrai, la candidate aurait eu accès à Internet, et donc aux articles sur l'émission.
Elle pourrait donc, par exemple, avoir eu accès à Narcity Québec, et découvert plusieurs informations qui ne sont pas connues des autres candidats et qui pourraient la choquer :
- Le témoignage de l'ex de Charles
- La pétition contre Charles, le « leader »
- La participation de Charles à deux autres téléréalité, dont une de dating.
- L'opinion d'Alicia Moffet sur Jordan
Il est à noter qu'il y a deux à trois semaines entre le moment où les épisodes sont filmés, et celui où ils sont diffusés.
Toutes informations publiées dans les deux dernières semaines ne sont donc pas considérées.
Que se passe-t-il avec le compte Instagram d'Éloïse?
La section « commentaires » a été désactivée sur le compte Instagram d'Éloïse, ce qui signifie que tu ne peux plus commenter ses photos.
La production utilise cette technique pour éviter les commentaires haineux lorsque les candidats sèment la controverse.
Plus tôt ce mois-ci, les commentaires ont aussi été désactivés sur le compte Instagram de Charles.
Qu'est-ce que dit la production de tout ça?
La production n'a pas commenté la rumeur directement, toutefois, voici ce qu'elle avait à dire sur l'épisode de dimanche : « C’est soir d’Halloween pour les candidats d’OD Chez Nous et des informations provenant d’une source mystérieuse s’infiltrent dans la soirée et viennent troubler le cours de l’aventure. »
