THUNDER BAY – The Thunder Bay District Health Unit says there is a low-risk exposure of COVID-19 to some passengers aboard a recent flight from Toronto.
The health unit, in a release issued on Tuesday morning, said those seated in rows 13 to 19 of WestJet flight 3123 on July 26, should isolate and monitor for symptoms.
If even one symptom develops, those passengers should contact the health unit at 625-5900.
“All residents should be aware that COVID-19 is still circulating at different levels around the province and in Canada. The safest options are to stay in the area of your home community or to stay in the region,” reads the release.
“Individuals who do travel outside of Northwestern Ontario should be extra vigilant in monitoring for symptoms when they return and should isolate and call TBDHU to arrange for testing if any symptoms develop.”
Anyone who travels outside of Canada is required to self-isolate for 14 days upon return.
