Question: Can a quarantined COVID-19 patient spread the illness to others?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: FAQs for Correctional and Detention Facilities
section_headers: People Who Are Incarcerated at Correctional and Detention Facilities
What does it mean to be in quarantine?
section_content: Anyone who has close contact with a person with COVID-19 will need to stay
away from other people for at least 14 days to make sure they aren’t sick as
well. This means that they will be placed in a room separate from others, or
just with other people who have also been exposed to the same sick person.
During this time, they will be checked for COVID-19 symptoms. If testing is
available, a person in quarantine may be tested several times until medical
staff are sure they do not have the virus.

Does not address the question directly you have to read between the lines
The answer implies that a person in quarantine cannot spread the disease to others, but does not state it.

Can someone who has been quarantined for COVID-19 spread the illness to others?
section_content: Quarantine means separating a person or group of people who have been exposed
to a contagious disease but have not developed illness (symptoms) from others
who have not been exposed, in order to prevent the possible spread of that
disease. Quarantine is usually established for the incubation period of the
communicable disease, which is the span of time during which people have
developed illness after exposure. For COVID-19, the period of quarantine is 14
days from the last date of exposure because the incubation period for this
virus is 2 to 14 days. Someone who has been released from COVID-19 quarantine
is not considered a risk for spreading the virus to others because they have
not developed illness during the incubation period.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Addresses the period of incubation for disease and that people are contagious
The answer goes into detail about what quarantine is, and implies, but does not state that a person in quarantine is unlikely to spread the disease to others.

section_headers: How COVID-19 Spreads
Can someone who has had COVID-19 spread the illness to others?
section_content: The virus that causes COVID-19 is spreading from person-to-
person. People are thought to be most contagious when they are
symptomatic (the sickest). That is why CDC recommends that these patients be
isolated either in the hospital or at home (depending on how sick they are)
until they are better and no longer pose a risk of infecting others. More
recently the virus has also been detected in asymptomatic persons.
How long someone is actively sick can vary so the decision on when to release
someone from isolation is made using a test-based or non-test-based strategy
(i.e. time since illness started and time since recovery) in consultation with
state and local public health officials. The decision involves considering the
specifics of each situation, including disease severity, illness signs and
symptoms, and the results of laboratory testing for that patient.
Learn more about CDC’s guidance on when to release someone from
isolation and discharge hospitalized patients with COVID-19.
For information on when someone who has been sick with COVID-19 is able to
stop home isolation see Interim Guidance for Discontinuation of In-Home
Isolation for Patients with
COVID-19.
Someone who has been released from isolation is not considered to pose a risk
of infection to others.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Does not address the question directly
The second paragraph implies that someone in isolation can't spread the disease, but the answer is more about whether who in general can spread the virus.
