A British Columbia woman is feeling frustrated after she allegedly learned second-hand that a fellow passenger on her flight from Vancouver to Kelowna had tested positive for COVID-19.
On Tuesday, March 10 Barbara Szymczyk flew to the Okanagan, for work, on WestJet flight WS3326. Five days later, on Sunday morning, news broke that a passenger on the flight had tested positive for coronavirus.
Global Okanagan received a press release from the Kelowna airport about the case that morning and published this article. However, Szymczyk, who had since returned to the Lower Mainland, said she was never notified directly about the case by health officials or the airline.
