The data indicates, where known, which rows of the flights are likely to have experienced exposure. So if you've taken a flight into or out of Pearson recently, it may be worth giving the list a once-over.

Included in the exposed flights so far in August are a number of domestic trips to and from the 6ix, as well as international arrivals from places like Europe, Asia, and the U.S.

Pearson has implemented a number of COVID-19 health and safety protocols, including walkthrough disinfectant machines and social distancing measures.

Anyone travelling into Canada is still being asked to comply with the mandatory 14-day quarantine.
