The BC Centre for Disease Control has issued COVID-19 exposure warnings for two more flights through Vancouver.
The two domestic flights were added to the BCCDC’s list of public exposures Monday evening.
The affected flights are:
- Aug. 18: Air Canada flight 214, from Vancouver to Calgary (affected rows not reported)
- Aug. 22: Air Transat Flight 931, from Vancouver to Toronto (affected rows: 13 to 19)
In total, 65 flights into and out of B.C. have been added to the BCCDC’s warning list in August, including 17 international flights and 48 domestic flights.
Information on affected rows is included on the list when available.
While the BCCDC says that those seated in the affected rows should be considered at higher risk of exposure to the virus, the agency recommends that anyone who was on the flight self-monitor for symptoms for 14 days.
People arriving in Canada from outside of the country are required to self-isolated and monitor for symptoms for 14 days, under the federal Quarantine Act.
