THUNDER BAY – Passengers on board a recent Air Canada flight from Toronto to Thunder Bay could have been exposed to COVID-19.
Federal health authorities warn those seated in rows 17 to 23 of flight AC385 on May 19 faced potential exposure to the virus.
Affected passengers are advised to contact their local health unit, self-monitor for symptoms for 14 days, and immediately self-isolate if they develop any symptoms.
A row is considered affected if it's within three rows of a passenger later confirmed to have COVID-19, if they were on board during their infectious period.
The federal database that tracks COVID-19 exposure on flights, buses, trains, and cruise ships has flagged exposure on 11 flights that departed or arrived at the Thunder Bay airport during April and May.
Those who have travelled are recommended to periodically check the federal website for two weeks afterwards.
