SagittariusNov 22 - Dec 21

We spend a great deal of time doing ridiculous things. If you’re enjoying that sense of rushing and pressure, then all is well. If not, relax. Either way, everything is set to work out fine.

TaurusApril 20 - May 20

Are you pulled in every di-rection? Put up the ‘closed’ sign and insist on a your well-earned break this week. You’ll need your energy when the Equinox arrives.

Better to be excitedly inexpe-rienced than pessimistically stuck. It’s easy to write things off as inappropriate. Yet if you look again, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by what you can do.

PiscesFeb 19 - Mar 20

You have a rare talent for being able to empathise and support people in their troubles. It can changes peoples’ lives. Rec-ognition and respect are com-ing your way this week.

This week’s horoscope

Passenger with COVID-19 lands at Kelowna airport

The Kelowna Int’l Airport announced Sunday morning it had just been in-formed that a passenger that flew on a Vancouver to Kelowna flight on March 10 has tested positive for COVID-19.

The impacted flight from Vancouver to Kelowna was WestJet flight WS3326.

The airport said passengers in rows 10 to 14 are “considered close contacts and may be at risk of exposure.” However, a statement from WestJet said rows 15 and 16 could also be affected.

The airline said public health officials are recommending those in rows 10 to 16 “self-isolate for 14 days after arrival in Canada and monitor for symptoms. ”

WestJet said if passengers in self-iso-lation do notice symptoms they should contact HealthLinkBC at 811.

“Public health officials are advising … other guests of WS3326 on March 10 are not required to self-isolate, but should self-monitor for 14 days after arrival in Kelowna as a precaution,” the airport said in a media release.

In response to questions about how the airline is handling the specific aircraft involved, WestJet did not directly answer the questions and instead directed Glob-al News to a website with general infor-mation about its handling of COVID-19, including stepping up aircraft sanitation.

“Unfortunately, unless there are symptoms presented on board, we would not be aware until contacted by [the Public Health Agency of Canada],” an airline spokesperson said in an email.

“This is why we are taking increased cleaning measures across the fleet.”

YLW said it was already taking ex-tra cleaning precautions due to the COVID-19 pandemic prior to being noti-fied that a passenger had test positive on Sunday morning.

Samaddar said airport traffic is down dramatically due to the pandemic and related closures.

He said some flights are only 10 to 25 per cent full and airlines are also cancel-ling fights due to low bookings.
