Both Air Canada flight 111, which departed from Toronto and landed at Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­International Airport on Monday, July 13, and Air Canada flight 8073 - which left from Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­heading to Victoria the same day - were carrying passengers infected with COVID-19, the BCCDC announced Saturday. 

All passengers who were aboard either aircraft are advised to self-isolate and self-monitor for symptoms for the 14 days following the flight.
