The BC Centre for Disease Control has added another flight to its COVID-19 exposure list and this one involves the Okanagan.

According to the BCCDC, the exposure took place on WestJet flight number 461, which flew from Calgary to Kelowna on Aug. 7.

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.
