Vancouver — Several flights involving Vancouver International Airport have been added to the B.C. Centre for Disease Control's list of COVID-19 exposures.

The additions to the list were made Wednesday evening, when the BCCDC added four domestic flights and two international ones to the list. Then, three more domestic flights were added to the list Thursday evening.

Details of the affected flights are as follows:

People arriving in B.C. from outside Canada are required to self-isolate for 14 days upon entering the province. Anyone who was on any of the listed flights should self-monitor for symptoms of COVID-19 and self-isolate and seek testing if any develop.

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

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.
