Air Canada has confirmed that a passenger who flew on one of its flights from Montreal to Vancouver on Valentine’s Day has tested positive for the coronavirus.
The airline says it was advised on Feb. 22 by health authorities about the passenger.
“Air Canada is working with public health authorities and has taken all recommended measures,” read a brief statement from the airline.
The British Columbia Ministry of Health says everyone in proximity to the woman during her travels has already been notified, stressing the information released by Air Canada does not mean there is a new case in the province.
