According to the government's website, over a dozen flights that have flown through Toronto may have exposed passengers to the disease.

Most of them were domestic, with exceptions from Cancun and Zurich. 

American Airlines and WestJet were also on the list, as well as Ethiopian Airlines, Pakistan International Airlines, and United.

Last month, 11 other incidents of exposure were tracked flying in and out of Toronto.

Most flights with affected passengers were flying domestic, so if you went on a trip to somewhere in Canada recently, you might want to check to see if you could have been exposed.

Health officials recommend self-isolating for 14 days after air travel, and it is mandatory if you were on an international flight entering the country. 

Toronto Pearson has taken steps to hinder the spread of COVID-19, with multiple new protocols in place for cleanliness and to prevent overcrowding.
