Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says Canada recently losing its measles elimination status is concerning, but her government might not have many other options on the table to help get it back.

Smith, at an unrelated news conference in Calgary, said the highly contagious disease is hard to control, especially since people can travel freely from province to province or to Alberta from around the world.

"I think it's up to everybody to be vigilant in trying to make sure that this disease doesn't spread," Smith said Friday.

"That's why we made sure everyone knew when an outbreak occurred or when a case was identified, we put [it] on our website so they could see exactly what location, judge their own level of risk [and] if they saw symptoms, [were] able to get it addressed right away."
