Passengers seated in the affected rows – listed when available – should be “considered to be at higher risk of exposure due to their proximity to the case,” according to the BCCDC.
Key symptoms to watch out for include fever or chills, cough, loss of sense of smell or taste and difficulty breathing.
New international travel restrictions
The federal government announced new rules last month in a bid to discourage not-essential, international travel, and Canada’s main airlines agreed to suspend service to Mexico and the Caribbean.
Travellers to take a COVID-19 molecular test at the airport after arriving in Canada and must book a government-authorized hotel for three nights, where they will stay while they await their arrival test results. Travellers will have to pay for their own hotel expenses and must book the hotel prior to their boarding their return flight.
This is in addition to the for international travellers put in place on Jan. 7.
So far, the government has authorized three hotels in Richmond, near the airport, for the three-night stay: the Westin Wall Centre Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»Airport, the Radisson Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»Airport and the Fairmont Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»Airport.
More hotels will be added to the list in the coming days, according to the federal government.
International flights are only able to land at four airports across the country: Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal and Toronto.
