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

Domestic passengers are advised to self-monitor for symptoms for 14 days if they were on a flight with a confirmed case of COVID-19, the BCCDC states, as the agency 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 the country. International passengers are also required self-isolate for 14 days upon their arrival under the federal Quarantine Act.
