I am in the mid 60s - and have some medical problems - although well controlled.

The question is the risk of getting covid 19 sufficiently low for me and my family flying with me and other family members based in Vancouver (from me) to fly, or too high to risk it without a pre-boarding rapid covid 19 test,

here are links to some references for AC flights with at least 1 passenger testing positive COVID 19 passenger

Want to get your opinion?
Unfortunately I can't make the decision for you but there is always a risk. You can take steps to reduce the risk. Some people are flying with face shields and you can buy them at T&T. Some people also flying with safety goggles on.
