Coronavirus Australia: Qantas staff alarmed Wuhan flight crew will not be quarantined
Crew member says Qantas has dismissed staff concerns, but airline says it is following advice that quarantine period is unnecessary
Qantas flight crew have raised concerns that the 14-member cabin crew responsible for bringing evacuated Australians out of China’s Wuhan province will return to work staffing commercial flights around the country without a period of quarantine.
A crew member, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said they and their colleagues were concerned about the health protocols surrounding the cabin crew, who will board domestic flights to return to their home cities and return to working on flights around the country and the world without being placed in quarantine.
