To me this is a clear indication that anyone – anyone – coming from China is considered by the authorities to have the potential to be infected, and/or infectious.

So, to my mind, it is not unreasonable for a worker to refuse to have anything to do with an aircraft that has come from China and has possibly carried a someone infected.

What was Joyce’s response to the TWU?
So what about the airlines still flying into Australia including QF until the weekend?
QF 1st, are crew to quarantine themselves for 14 days?
Chinese airlines, are crew to quarantine themselves for 14 days? What about crew members standing around reception areas at the various hotels whilst checking in? The issue grows when you consider transport from terminal to hotels, hotels and other guests, hotel cleaners, etc.

Still a Swiss cheese approach by the govern-not here.
