B.C. continues to see YVR flights with COVID-19 exposures and there are even more you should know about if you've been flying into Vancouver recently.

On Sunday, August 2, the BCCDC tweeted that two more Air Canada flights to YVR had people test positive for COVID-19 on board and they are from major cities across Canada, plus one from across the Pacific.

If you are a close contact of a confirmed COVID-19 case, Public Health contacts you directly to let you know. In cases where not everyone can be reached, Regional Health Authorities are posting public exposure information online.
