Should I allow critical infrastructure employees to work if they have been exposed but are not showing symptoms of COVID-19?
section_content: Functioning critical infrastructure is imperative during the response to the
COVID-19 emergency, for both public health and safety as well as community
well-being. When continuous remote work is not possible, critical
infrastructure businesses should use strategies to reduce the likelihood of
spreading the disease. This includes, but is not necessarily limited to,
separating staff by off-setting shift hours or days and implementing social
distancing. These steps can preserve and protect the workforce and allow
operations to continue.
To ensure continuity of operations of essential functions, CDC advises that
critical infrastructure workers may be permitted to continue work following
potential exposure to COVID-19, provided they remain asymptomatic and
additional precautions are implemented to protect them and the community.
Critical infrastructure businesses have an obligation to limit, to the extent
possible, the reintegration of in-person workers who have experienced an
exposure to COVID-19 but remain symptom-free in ways that best protect the
health of the worker, their co-workers, and the general public.
An analysis of core job tasks and workforce availability at worksites can
allow the employer to match core activities to other equally skilled and
available in-person workers who have not been exposed to the virus. Critical
infrastructure workers who have been exposed but remain symptom-free and must
return to in-person work should adhere to the following practices before and
during their work shift:

Pre-screen for symptoms
Monitor regularly for symptoms
Wear a face mask
Practice social distancing
Clean and disinfect workspaces

Sick employees should be sent home and should not return to the workplace
until they have met the criteria to discontinue home
isolation.

Have Had Exposure to a Person with Suspected or Confirmed
COVID-19 for more information.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer is helpful in some ways. It  addresses a specific group of workers and talks about if they are allowed to go back to work. The person asking the question though is not certain to be in this group. That being said, it still proves helpful as it gives the reader an indication that there are workplaces that do not allow for those with an exposure to COVID-19 to return to work immediately.
This talks about the continuity of work. so it is acceptable.
This answers the question and at the same time provides tips and link to ensure safety

Question: What should I be doing in regards to Covid 19 if I'm the caregiver for a special needs child?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Frequently Asked Questions
section_headers: Children and Youth with Special Healthcare Needs
Is my child with an underlying medical condition or special healthcare need at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19?
section_content: Children with complex, chronic medical conditions, including children with
physical, developmental, behavioral, or emotional differences, can have
special healthcare needs. It’s not known yet whether all of these children are
at higher risk for severe illness from COVID-19.
Although most COVID-19 cases in children are not severe, serious illness that
needs to be treated at the hospital still happens. Some data on children
reported that the majority who needed hospitalization for COVID-19 had at
least one underlying medical condition. The most common underlying conditions
reported among children with COVID-19 include chronic lung disease (including
asthma), heart disease, and conditions that weaken the immune system. This
information suggests that children with these underlying medical conditions
may be at risk for more severe illness from COVID-19.
More data are needed to learn which underlying or complex medical conditions
may put children at increased risk. CDC is monitoring new information as it
becomes available and will provide updates as needed.

This does not answer the question. This answer contains known information on covid-19 risk in children with chronic medical conditions and special needs. It does not provide any Covid-19 information for a person who is caring a child with special needs as asked in the question.
This is helpful information but doesn't give caregivers any direct advice about what they should do to keep their children safe or steps they should be taking as a caregiver to prepare in case they become sick. It needs to be more comprehensive and less specific in terms of how COVID may affect the children.

Question: What problems can Covid 19 cause?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Frequently Asked Questions
section_headers: How COVID-19 Spreads
What is the source of the virus?
section_content: COVID-19 is caused by a coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2. Coronaviruses are a
large family of viruses that are common in people and many different species
of animals, including camels, cattle, cats, and bats. Rarely, animal
coronaviruses can infect people and then spread between people. This occurred
with MERS-CoV and SARS-
CoV, and now with the virus that causes COVID-19. The SARS-
CoV-2 virus is a betacoronavirus, like MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV. All three of
these viruses have their origins in bats. The sequences from U.S. patients are
similar to the one that China initially posted, suggesting a likely single,
recent emergence of this virus from an animal reservoir. However, the exact
source of this virus is unknown.
More information about the source and spread of COVID-19 is available on the
Situation Summary: Source and Spread of the
Virus.

Question: What symptoms do people with COVID-19 cause?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: People with Disabilities
section_headers: About COVID-19
section_content: 
Coronavirus disease is a respiratory illness that can spread from person to person. The virus is thought to spread mainly between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet) through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. It is also possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or eyes. For more information go to CDC’s Fact Sheet- What you need to know about coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Risk of infection with COVID-19 is higher for people who are in close contact with someone known to have COVID-19, such as healthcare workers, direct support providers, and household members. Other people at higher risk for infection are those who live or have recently been in an area with ongoing spread of COVID-19.

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: K-12 Schools and Child Care Programs
section_headers: Dismissals
If I make the decision for a school dismissal, what else should I consider?
section_content: In the event of a school dismissal, extracurricular group activities and large
events, such as performances, field trips, and sporting events should also be
cancelled. This may require close coordination with other partners and
organizations (e.g., high school athletics associations, music associations).
In addition, discourage students and staff from gathering or socializing
anywhere, like at a friend’s house, a favorite restaurant, or the local
shopping mall.
Ensure continuity of meal programs for your students. Consider ways to
distribute food to students who receive free or reduced cost meals. Check with
the US Department of Agriculture – Food and Nutrition Service for additional
information:
https://www.fns.usda.gov/disaster/USDAfoodsPandemicSchools.external
icon If there is
community spread of COVID-19, design strategies to avoid distribution in
settings where people might gather in a group or crowd. Consider options such
as “grab-and-go” bagged lunches or meal delivery.
Consider alternatives for providing essential medical and social services for
students. Continue providing necessary services for children with special
healthcare needs, or work with the state Title V Children and Youth with
Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCN) Program.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer does state that if schools are canceled events should be, but it really is more geared towards school then large events in general.
This answer is comprehensive and helpful. It mentions that if school is dismissed, extra curricular activities should be dismissed too. It mentions ways to support students and staff and how to talk to them about ensuring their safety and social distancing. Very good!
This does not answer the question. The question is asking for information on whether or not activities and events should be canceled during covid-19. However, the answer provides information on what should be done after a school dismissal during covid-19 such as continuing on providing meals and medical and social services.

cloth face covering is not intended to protect the wearer, but may prevent the
spread of virus from the wearer to others. This would be especially important
in the event that someone is infected but does not have symptoms. A cloth face
covering should be worn whenever people must go into public settings (grocery

Question: What is the difference between a mask and N95 respirator?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Personal Protective Equipment: Questions and Answers
section_headers: Respirators
What makes N95 respirators different from facemasks (sometimes called a surgical mask)?
section_content: 
Infographic: Understanding the difference between surgical masks and N95 respiratorspdf icon
N95 respirators reduce the wearer’s exposure to airborne particles, from small particle aerosols to large droplets. N95 respirators are tight-fitting respirators that filter out at least 95% of particles in the air, including large and small particles.
Not everyone is able to wear a respirator due to medical conditions that may be made worse when breathing through a respirator. Before using a respirator or getting fit-tested, workers must have a medical evaluation to make sure that they are able to wear a respirator safely.
Achieving an adequate seal to the face is essential. United States regulations require that workers undergo an annual fit test and conduct a user seal check each time the respirator is used. Workers must pass a fit test to confirm a proper seal before using a respirator in the workplace.
When properly fitted and worn, minimal leakage occurs around edges of the respirator when the user inhales. This means almost all of the air is directed through the filter media.
Unlike NIOSH-approved N95s, facemasks are loose-fitting and provide only barrier protection against droplets, including large respiratory particles. No fit testing or seal check is necessary with facemasks. Most facemasks do not effectively filter small particles from the air and do not prevent leakage around the edge of the mask when the user inhales.
The role of facemasks is for patient source control, to prevent contamination of the surrounding area when a person coughs or sneezes. Patients with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 should wear a facemask until they are isolated in a hospital or at home. The patient does not need to wear a facemask while isolated.


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer is most appropriate because it stated the difference between and N95 and surgical mask.
This answer compares both the N95 respirator and a mask and the difference between them, making it a sufficient answer for the question.

people who are or were recently incarcerated
people with chronic liver disease (including cirrhosis, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C) and living or working in areas where the hepatitis A outbreaks are ongoing

Vaccination in settings such as jails, other correctional facilities, and
homeless shelters should continue if already previously planned and organized
in a way that would adhere to infection control practices and where relevant
social distancing standards can be maintained. However, efforts should be made
to vaccinate people in non-congregate settings that allow for social

page_title: Healthcare Infection Prevention and Control FAQs for COVID-19
section_headers: If a long-term care facility has a resident or staff member with suspected or confirmed COVID-19, how and to whom should this be communicated?
section_content: Facilities should follow the reporting requirements of their state or

Services (CMS) (e.g., nursing homes) should also follow all CMS
requirementspdf iconexternal
icon, which are being
updated to include new requirements for reporting to CDC and to residents and
their representatives.
In addition, CDC recommends
that health departments be promptly notified
about:

Residents or healthcare personnel (HCP) with suspected or confirmed COVID-19,
Residents with severe respiratory infection resulting in hospitalization or death, and
≥ 3 residents or HCP with new-onset respiratory symptoms within 72 hours of each other.

These could signal an outbreak of COVID-19 or other respiratory disease in the
facility. The health department can provide important guidance to assist with
case finding and halting transmission.
The facility should also have a plan and mechanism to regularly communicate
with residents, family members, and HCP, including if cases of COVID-19 are
identified in the facility. Often, information in nursing homes is
communicated through town hall meetings and staff meetings, along with letters
or emails. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person gatherings should
not occur. Instead, communication should occur through virtual meetings over
phone or web platforms. These should be supplemented with written
communications that provide contact information for a staff member who can
respond to questions or concerns. Communications should include information
describing the current situation, plans for limiting spread within the
facility, and recommended actions they can take to protect themselves and
others. Facilities should make this information available in a timely manner
and offer periodic updates as the situation develops and more information
becomes available.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer is great. It talks about notification of health departments and about the fact that this requirement may be different on a state-to-state basis. It talks about how facilities need to make plans to have in place in the event of a COVID case and mentions various things to prepare for those plans.
This is a thorough, detailed answer about reporting cases.
This answer is more about identifying who has Covid

What should administrators do if a resident or staff shows symptoms of COVID-19?
section_content: Ask residents to actively monitor (at least daily) for COVID-19
symptoms,
including fever and respiratory symptoms (shortness of breath, new or change

COVID-19, ask them to self-isolate and you should contact local health
officials.

This answer is asking resident to monitor themselves not much else
The post deals more with what residents should do once they become sick, rather than how to prevent the residents from getting sick.
There isn't a lot of information in this answer.  Still, it does seem to address the question.
