Passengers who were onboard a commercial flight that landed recently at Victoria International Airport are being warned of potential exposure to the novel coronavirus.
The British Columbia Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) recently added Air Canada/Jazz 8069 from Vancouver to Victoria on Feb. 14 to its COVID-19 exposure list.
The affected rows are 17 to 20.
BCCDC says passengers who were on a flight that has been added to the province’s COVID-19 exposure list should self-monitor for symptoms for 14 days and those who were sitting in rows identified are considered to be at a higher risk of exposure due to their proximity.
Symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, chills, cough or worsening of chronic cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, loss of sense of smell or taste, runny nose, headache and fatigue.
