B.C. Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) added three domestic flights to the list of possible COVID-19 exposures on Saturday.

The list included flights between Whitehorse, Toronto and Vancouver.

All travellers arriving in B.C. from outside of Canada are required to self-isolate for 14 days and monitor for symptoms upon their arrival under the federal Quarantine Act.

According to the BCCDC website, passengers seated in the affected rows “should be considered to be at higher risk of exposure due to their proximity to the case.”
