The BC Centre for Disease Control is warning passengers on a recent flight from Kelowna of possible COVID-19 exposure.
The BCCDC is asking passengers on the July 6 Air Canada flight 8421 from Kelowna to Vancouver to monitor themselves for COVID-19 symptoms for 14 days.
The seats which could have been exposed were not detailed.
This follows eight positive COVID cases in Kelowna linked to visitors to the city between June 25 and July 9.
The cases involved people who live in three regions of the province, including the Interior, Fraser and Vancouver Coastal Health regions.
Public health contact tracing is underway, and the Interior Health authority says it is reaching out directly to anyone who has been exposed, where possible.
The BCCDC has issued warnings over nine domestic flights since the beginning of May, including a May 5 flight from Calgary to Kelowna. Seven international flights into Vancouver also prompted warnings.
Testing is recommended for anyone with symptoms including fever, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, or a loss of taste or smell.
"Milder symptoms may include runny nose, fatigue, body aches ... diarrhea, headache, sore throat, vomiting and red eyes," says IH.
Anyone with even mild symptoms is urged to stay home and avoid travel.
