Hazzard said that it’s likely that those who travelled on the same public transport services as the infected hotel quarantine worker, may be released from isolation later today.
As the premier has said in the past, when we are having returning travellers coming in from some of the most virus-infested countries in the world, you have to expect that on occasions we might have some challenges. But as long as we can trace, we can track, we can isolate, that is what our gold standard health teams do. It removes our worries.
The health team is currently reviewing whether or not we need to have any advisories for people on the trains but it is very likely that we will be able to lift that advisory later today.
