What duty of care does an operator have in regards to crew operating into Wuhan?

I imagine the cabin crew (and pilots) will be wearing company issued masks which in itself is an acknowledgement that an increased risk to their health exists. Can an individual reasonably refuse to crew if that is the case and the company should call for volunteers instead?

Then, having been potentially exposed to the virus - after all the proposed QF exercise is to take people into isolation because they may be infected/contagious – can the crew expect to be quarantined as well?

Why isn’t the RAAF used for this proposed evacuation? After all they sign up in the knowledge they may need to operate in a hostile environment and with the attendant risks – it’s part and parcel of being in the military.
