Obviously not with other passengers on board!
Crew would have to wear protective gear and the aircraft would need to be scrubbed for a few hours afterward. I worked as a paramedic a few years back and transported my fair share of patients with contagious diseases (Meningitis, Hepatitis, Tuberculosis etc.), on the road that is, but that can't be too different from an airborne evacuation (the scrubbing part is the worst btw.).
I suggest a separating wall or thick curtain between the pax and the cockpit, it's quite hard to talk through that mask.
