Passengers on a domestic flight with a COVID-19 case should self-monitor for symptoms for 14 days, according to the B.C. Centre for Disease Control.

"If you are a close contact of a confirmed COVID-19 case, Public Health contacts you directly to let you know. In cases where not everyone can be reached, Regional health authorities are posting public exposure information online," according to the centre.
