VANCOUVER A number of baggage handlers working with a YVR ground services company have tested positive for COVID-19 and several others continue to self-isolate while waiting for test results. WorkSafeBC confirmed a prevention officer followed up with the employer but the agency would not confirm the name of the company and says it is no longer involved because the airport falls under federal jurisdiction. However, CTV News has learned at least seven baggage handlers who contracted the virus work for Strategic Aviation, a ground support services company that works with multiple airlines at YVR. Administration at the airport initially declined to comment, but late in the day sent an emailed statement confirming CTV News earlier reporting.
