Customer boarded airplane and was coughing; etc. Flight Attendant provided face mask that he refused to wear. Customer vomited all over the back galley and bathroom and spread the vomit on carpet back to his seat. Captain had the airplane taken out of service upon arrival due to the stench and magnitude of vomit everywhere. Flight Attendant [was] sent back to base with no pay or the option to get checked out for COVID-19.Our system is flawed. We need to be proactive and make customers wear face masks and get temperature checked. Flight attendants are first responders and need to be protected from the spread of this COVID-19.
Flight Attendant reported a passenger vomited throughout aircraft causing aircraft to be taken out of service after landing at destination. Flight Attendant suggested passengers should wear masks and have their temperature checked prior to boarding during the COVID-19 pandemic.
