Additional flights leaving from and landing in Montreal have been added to the Government of Canada’s possible coronavirus exposure list.

Since our last update on October 21, 13 new flights have been added.

In total, passengers on eight international flights that touched down in Montreal could have been exposed to coronavirus, according to the Government of Canada. Eight domestic flights that departed from Montreal or landed at YUL could also have led to virus exposure.

On the government’s website, officials have updated a list that features confirmed coronavirus cases on various travel methods that have arrived or departed from Montreal.

Most recently, an international flight from Brussels touched down in Montreal this past weekend. Other potential exposures came in from Paris, Istanbul, Mexico City, and Marseilles.

Where applicable, the government says which rows may have been affected during flights.

The information is collected through provincial, territorial, and international health authorities and public websites. Flights are added and removed regularly by the Government of Canada on its website.

Travellers are reminded that they are to self-isolate for 14 days upon entry into Canada. “This is mandatory, whether or not you have symptoms,” the government states.
