Anyone who was on any of the flights listed should self-monitor for symptoms of COVID-19 for 14 days, self-isolating and seeking testing if any develop, according to the BCCDC.

Passengers who were seated in the rows listed are considered to be at greater risk because of their proximity to a confirmed case of the coronavirus.

Travellers landing in B.C. from international destinations are required to self-isolate for two weeks upon arrival.

Health officials in B.C. do not directly contact people who were seated near someone with a confirmed case of COVID-19 on a flight. Instead, health authorities post notices about affected flights online.
