MONTREAL — Montreal public health officials say someone contagious with the measles virus who was not vaccinated attended an NHL game at the Bell Centre on March 3 between the Canadiens and the Buffalo Sabres.

Officials say people are considered measles contacts if they were a spectator or concession worker in the red area of seats in sections 111 to 117 between 5:30 p.m. to midnight.

Workers at the Tim Hortons and Pizza Pizza inside the arena are also considered measles contacts.

Health officials are recommending that anyone considered a contact who is unvaccinated against the disease should isolate at home until March 17 inclusive.
