COVID-19 exposure on Feb. 28 flight from Vancouver to Victoria

A flight from Vancouver to Victoria has been added to the province’s COVID-19 exposure list.

The BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) says passengers onboard Air Canada Jazz flight 8069 on Feb. 28 may have been exposed to the novel coronavirus.

Officials say the affected rows are 13-to-19.

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.
