Passengers on a recent flight from Kelowna to Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­are being warned of a possible COVID-19 exposure.

According to the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC), travellers on Air Canada flight AC8421 arriving into YVR on July 6 may have been exposed to the virus.

BCCDC posted on Twitter telling anyone who was on the flight to self-isolate and to monitor themselves for symptoms for 14-days.

BC health officials have also named two businesses in Kelowna where people who recently tested positive for COVID-19 had visited.

The inbound flight from Kelowna falls around the dates of the identified businesses.

Interior Health identified these places as Cactus Club on Water Street (July 3 to 6), and Pace Spin Studio (July 2, 4, 5, 7,8 and 9). 

In addition to the two businesses announced Sunday in conjunction with the eight-case outbreak in Kelowna, Interior Health indicated visitors to the Boyce Gyro Beach Lodge on July 1 or the Discovery Bay Resort from July 1 to July 5 are advised to self-isolate and monitor themselves closely for symptoms.
