Their families and housemates have also been told to get tested immediately.
The warning comes after two nurses were found to have contracted the virus while working in the ward with infected COVID-19 patients.
Genomic sequencing confirmed both nurses had contracted the virus from a patient returned from India - however neither of the two cases came into direct contact with the patient prompting concern over how the virus was transmitted.
