Final Update, August 30th, 2020.
Nova Scotia Public Health is warning of possible exposure to COVID-19 on two WestJet flights on August 24th and August 26th. Both were Westjet flight 232 which departed Calgary at 0930 and arrived in Halifax at 1715 each day. On the August 24th passengers in rows, 20-24 seats A, B, C, and D may have been at risk of exposure to the COVID-19 virus. On the same flight on August 26th, passengers in rows 21-26 in seats A, B, and C may have been at risk of exposure to the COVID-19 virus. Nova Scotia Public Health is advising anyone that was on either flight and seated in the above-mentioned seats is being asked to call 811 for further instruction. It should be noted that anyone entering Nova Scotia from outside of the Atlantic Bubble is required to self-isolate for 14 days and that it can take up to 14 days after the date of exposure for symptoms to appear. At this point, it is unclear if this situation is the result of persons transferring from international flights.
