A complete list of all current affected domestic and international flights in and out of British Columbia is provided on the BCCDC public exposures page.

Any travellers returning to B.C. are encouraged to check the BCCDC website for updates about flights with an exposure risk, and those travelling from outside of Canada must arrive prepared with a 14-day self-isolation plan.

Passengers on affected flights are not informed directly of potential COVID-19 exposure and are instead asked to monitor public notifications regarding flights. Anyone who was on the listed flights is asked to self-monitor for symptoms and seek testing if warranted. Those seated in the rows closest to the affected case - provided row information has been given to officials by the airline -are considered at a higher risk than passengers elsewhere on the plane.
