VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) — Another warning has been issued about possible exposure to COVID-19 on flights landing in Vancouver.
A flight from Kelowna to Vancouver on July 6 is on the list of added flights, and appears to be linked to cases in that city among travellers around Canada Day.
Anyone who was on an Air Canada flight No. 8421 is being asked to monitor themselves for symptoms for two weeks.
