The BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) has flagged more flights through B.C. airports for COVID-19 exposures.

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

Passengers on domestic flights 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 no longer directly notifies passengers seated near a case of the virus.
