Kelowna International Airport says it has been informed by health officials about a passenger who flew from Vancouver to Kelowna who has tested positive for COVID-19.

The passenger flew on WestJet flight WS3326 from Vancouver International Airport, the Kelowna airport said in a news release."YLW is sharing this information to keep the community informed about the possibility of virus transmission," the airport said.

WestJet also announced the incident on its COVID-19 blog, saying passengers in rows 10 to 16 of the flight are considered "close contacts" of the passenger who tested positive, and may be at risk of exposure. Passengers outside of those rows are not required to self-isolate, but should self-monitor for 14 days as a precaution, WestJet said.

On Saturday, the provincial government announced nine new cases of the novel coronavirus. Seven of those were located in the Vancouver Coastal Health region, one was in the Fraser Health region and one was in the Interior Health region, where Kelowna is located.

THANK TRUEDOPE FOR THIS ...

Is this part of the story as well or did someone forget to remove it from the 'file photo'?

JustinTrudeau doing a great job!

Exactly what I was saying?! How many people are NOT admitting their symptoms and walking around thinking they're super heros?! Or admit it once it's too late. Like this flight was from 5 days ago for Pete sakes!! They all 'disembarked' where? Figure it out quickly please!

Grounding planes is not the answer. The answer is if you feel like you have those symptoms stay home for fucks sake. Everyone wants to be home in their own bed incase they get quarentiened and are not putting other people first. It's their own ass that matters to them 😥

What happened to all of Trudeau’s advanced screening that shud have caught this passenger in Vancouver? Wait.. could “advanced screening” be yet another Trudeau Liberal lie? cdnpoli

When will are elected leader JustinTrudeau and the liberal_party stop international travel and close the border?cdnpoli

And this is why I keep posting.....Ground the Planes!

🙄

Just keep flying, not enough people are infected yet.
