Gov’t warns of possible COVID exposure on recent flight to Saskatoon

The Government of Saskatchewan says passengers on a recent flight into Saskatoon may have been exposed to COVID-19.

In a post on its website, the government says WestJet flight 452 from Calgary on Aug. 9 carried someone who later tested positive for the coronavirus.

Anyone sitting in rows 1 to 5 may have been exposed.

The government is urging passengers to self-monitor for symptoms for 14 days after they arrived at their destination.

People who think they may have been exposed to the virus on the flight can use the Public Health Agency of Canada’s self-assessment tool to assess their symptoms.

The Government of Saskatchewan also offers a self-assessment tool for those who believe they may have been exposed to COVID-19.
