A recent flight that landed in Nanaimo was added to the province’s coronavirus exposure list on Sunday evening.
The British Columbia Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) is warning passengers who were onboard WestJet flight 3103 from Calgary to Nanaimo on Jan. 7 about possible exposure to COVID-19
The affected rows on the flight are rows 16 to 20.
It comes just one day after another flight that landed in Nanaimo — Air Canada/Jazz 8261 from Vancouver on Jan. 3 — was added to the province’s 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.
