More coronavirus exposure warnings issued for Vancouver flights

Several flights out of the YVR Vancouver International Airport last week have been identified with passengers that have been diagnosed with COVID-19.

The BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) says that there were four identified flights that took place between July 6 to 8.

Earlier this year, it was made mandatory that any passenger arriving in British Columbia from outside of Canada self-isolate and monitor for symptoms for two weeks. They were also required to complete and register a self-isolation plan.

The BCCDC says on its website that passengers would no longer be contacted directly if they sat near a confirmed case. Rather, updates are now posted on the BCCDC website.

“We recommend that flight passengers self-isolate and monitor for symptoms for 14 days following the flight,” says the health authority.
