I worked for a major airline and although the aircraft is disinfected between flights, it is still a cause for alarm. You may bring sterile wipes and clean all surfaces especially the tray, but remember someone was probably sitting in the seat you have a few minutes before. On all modern aircraft, passengers and crew breathe a mixture of fresh and recirculated air. If someone has symptoms it's very possible you may be exposed. Also, as someone has said, you need to quarantine for two weeks.
