BCCDC reports COVID-19 exposure on flight from Calgary to Victoria

Share

The BCCDC has issued a new COVID-19 exposure alert for a Westjet flight that landed in Victoria earlier this month.

Passengers travelling on Westjet flight 195 on November 15 from Calgary to Victoria are advised to be aware that they may have been exposed to the virus.

The specific rows of passengers who may have been exposed were not reported for this flight.

Affected travellers are asked to monitor their symptoms for 14 days and call 8-1-1 to get tested if they do develop symptoms of the virus.

Since late March, the BCCDC has not been contacting passengers who sat near a confirmed patient during their flight.

Instead all travellers must check their website to find out whether they have been exposed to the virus.

Since the beginning of June, multiple international and domestic flights have landed in or departed from Vancouver and Victoria with confirmed COVID-19 cases.
