Those sitting in rows 5-11 are considered to be at the greatest risk.

However, anyone that was on board is asked to self-monitor for symptoms for 14 days and arrange to be tested for COVID-19 if you do experience symptoms.

After a series of exposures on flights out of Kelowna in early July, this is the first one involving a YLW flight since July 13 and the first on a flight into Kelowna since May 5.
