Following further inquiries, the 17 passengers and six crew on board at the time were also taken to the quarantine hotel, where they remain under the care of NSW Health. Other passengers who alighted the train at stations previously in the journey are being contacted by NSW Health. The officers involved are being managed in line with requirements in the Public Health Orders. Inquiries are being conducted into the incident, including potential breaches of the public health order.
