Narrative:
Myself and partner were assigned to work aircraft X that arrived with 2 open log pages that concerned me and my partner about our safety and health at risk. My partner was assured that the aircraft was going to be deep cleaned. We were assigned to do a tire change and 1 svc and had to enter the flight deck to do work. As I entered the aircraft I spoke to the lead cleaner and had asked if they were concerned about what happened. To my surprise they were not aware of the covid-19 contamination and sick pilots in the flight deck and I also asked if there was a special cleaning group to sterilize the flight deck. I think that the cleaners were the only ones that did their regular cleaning job and were not informed of what happened. I was really surprised that there is not an organized process for this type of situation. I thought that entering this type of contaminated aircraft would be really strict.
