Passengers seated near a case of COVID-19 who was recognized after arrival will no longer be directly notified of their potential exposure.

Instead, that information is posted online.

Where information on affected rows is available, passengers seated in these rows should be considered to be at higher risk of exposure due to their proximity to the case.
