Passengers who were on five recent Vancouver Island flights are being warned about possible exposure to COVID-19.
The British Columbia Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) added the following flights to its COVID-19 exposure list on May 4.
WestJet flight 3115 from Calgary to Victoria on April 27, with the affected rows being 5 to 11.
Air Canada/Jazz flight 8261 from Vancouver to Nanaimo on April 28, with the affected rows being 2 to 8.
WestJet flight 3295 from Calgary to Victoria on April 29, with the affected rows being 9 to 15.
In an update on May 3, BCCDC added Air Canada/Jazz flight 8066 from Victoria to Vancouver on April 18 and WestJet flight 3109 from Calgary to Nanaimo on April 29 to the list.
The affected rows on WestJet flight 3109 are 9 to 15 while the affected rows on Air Canada/Jazz flight 8066 are 10 to 16.
A total of 46 flights that departed from Calgary and landed in B.C. during the month of April have been added to the province’s COVID-19 exposure list.
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.
