According to the BCCDC website, passengers seated in the affected rows “should be considered to be at higher risk of exposure due to their proximity to the case.”

Passengers who were on a domestic flight that had a COVID-19 case are advised to self-monitor for symptoms for 14 days. The BCCDC says it will no longer be directly notifying passengers seated near a case of the virus.

Travellers arriving in B.C. from outside of Canada are required to complete the federal ArriveCAN application digitally before entering Canada, and must self-isolate for 14 days and monitor for symptoms upon their arrival under the federal Quarantine Act.

The provincial government has told British Columbians to stay local, avoid non-essential travel within the province and to not travel outside of B.C. unless it’s essential.

The federal government is also advising Canadians to avoid travelling outside of the country until further notice due to the pandemic.
