Curious looking B744. (Chinese characters for Emergency Opening are a clue)

A fashion statement. If done well, a crew would have a low but not zero risk of infection. Someone would have gone to the toilet, eaten, scratched their nose, etc in the flight from A to B. Assume that is zero, they are happy campers. The plane, it needs cleaning, and checking before going out on more activity. Monitoring the crew and pax for the incubation period and doing testing for the virus would clear the crew and be anecdotal to the airplane. Was there catering, ground staff onboard, CIQH etc in Wuhan..? Plane will shure look purty after it's scrub though.
