VANCOUVER -- The B.C. Centre for Disease Control has added several more flights that landed at B.C. airports to its list of COVID-19 exposures.

The BCCDC added four trips to the list Saturday evening and three more on Sunday. Details of the recent additions follow.

• Oct. 18: Flair flight 8186 from Edmonton to Prince George (rows not reported)
• Oct. 19: United Airlines flight 466 from Denver to Vancouver (rows not reported)
• Oct. 21: Air Canada flight 103 from Toronto to Vancouver (rows 27 to 30)

• Oct. 30: WestJet flight 183 from Calgary to Kelowna (rows 12 to 18)

Travellers on international flights are required to self-isolate for 14 days after arriving in B.C.

Anyone who was on any of the flights listed should self-monitor for symptoms of COVID-19 and self-isolate and seek testing if any develop, according to the BCCDC.

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

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.
