Passengers who were seated in the rows listed are considered at greater risk of contracting COVID-19 because of their proximity to a confirmed infection.

Anyone who was on any of the affected flights should self-monitor for symptoms of the coronavirus, seeking testing and self-isolating if any develop.

Travellers arriving in B.C. on international flights are required to self-isolate for 14 days upon arrival. Domestic travellers are not required to isolate, but Canadian health officials have been recommending against non-essential travel during the pandemic's second wave.

Health officials in B.C. do not directly contact people who have been on flights with a confirmed case of COVID-19 on board. Instead, notifications are posted on the BCCDC website.
