3 flights to Vancouver International Airport possibly exposed to COVID-19

Concern over Americans vacationing in B.C. There is growing concern that American travelers are vacationing in our province using what's being dubbed the "Alaska loophole."

Vancouver — Health officials are warning passengers on three flights that recently landed at Vancouver International Airport YVR to monitor for symptoms of COVID-19.

The B.C. Centre for Disease Control is not sharing which seats on the planes were affected. As a result, everyone who was on the flights is asked to self-isolate for two weeks from the day they landed in Vancouver.

These are the affected flights:

Travellers on the flights won't be contacted directly, as health officials stopped that practice back in March.

All airline passengers are encouraged to check the BCCDC website regularly for two weeks after they arrive back in B.C. to ensure their flight has not been exposed to the virus.
