Travellers on international flights are required to self-isolate for 14 days after arriving in B.C.

Anyone who was on any of the flights listed should self-monitor for symptoms of COVID-19 and self-isolate and seek testing if any develop, according to the BCCDC.

Passengers seated in the rows listed are considered to be at greater risk because of their proximity to a confirmed case of the disease.

Health officials in B.C. no longer directly contact people who were seated near someone with a confirmed case of COVID-19 on a flight. Instead, health authorities post notices about affected flights online.
