Some MPs are angry that they have not been identified as close contacts of Mr Marshall after joining the Nationals MP on the floor of Parliament on budget day on Tuesday.
Swansea MP Yasmin Catley said she had been about a metre from Mr Marshall during Question Time but had not received advice from NSW Health that she should be in isolation and getting tested.
IN OTHER NEWS:
That changed late on Thursday when Parliament sent all MPs a message telling them to isolate pending further medical advice.
MPs said they and their staff had potentially shared lifts with Mr Marshall.
Mr Marshall and three other Nationals MPs went into isolation on Wednesday after dining together at Christo's Pizzeria in Paddington, which NSW Health later identified as a venue of concern.
Regional MPs were given pairs, a parliamentary process which matches absences from either side of politics, to return home on Wednesday afternoon.
Yesterday, Member for Albury Justin Clancy said he would be returning home, but did not specify when.
"We understand returning home is safe to do so, but we'll do so coupled with testing and self-imposed quarantine," he said.
