Warnings of COVID-19 exposure issued for 3 more flights through YVR

People who travelled on three more flights through Vancouver International Airport are being warned of possible COVID-19 exposure.

The BC Centre for Disease Control added the three international flights to its public exposures webpage Wednesday evening.

The flights are:

• July 20: Delta flight 4523 from Seattle to Vancouver (affected rows not reported)
• July 29: Delta flight 3898 from Seattle to Vancouver (affected rows not reported)
• July 29: Aeromexico flight 696 from Mexico City to Vancouver (affected rows: 19 to 27)

“Where information on affected rows in available, passengers seated in these rows should be considered to be at higher risk of exposure due to their proximity to the case,” reads the BCCDC’s public exposures webpage.
