VANCOUVER -- More flights in and out of B.C. airports have been added to the province's COVID-19 exposure warning list, with travelers being advised to watch for symptoms of the disease.
The B.C. Centre for Disease Control posted details about the recent flights on Monday.

International travellers to B.C. are required to quarantine for 14 days upon arrival. They're also required to present proof of a negative COVID-19 test before boarding their flight, but that test can be taken up to 72 hours before they take off.
Domestic travellers are not required to quarantine, but health officials have advised against non-essential travel within Canada for months.
Anyone who was on one of the affected flights should self-monitor for symptoms of COVID-19, seeking testing and self-isolating if any develop.
B.C. health officials do not directly contact everyone who was on a flight with a confirmed case of COVID-19. Instead, public notifications are posted on the BCCDC's website.
