Question: Can COVID-19 spread while using a vacuum?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Frequently Asked Questions
section_headers: Cleaning and Disinfection
Is cleaning alone effective against the virus that causes COVID-19?
section_content: Cleaning does not kill germs, but by removing them, it lowers their numbers
and the risk of spreading infection. If a surface may have gotten the virus on
it from a person with or suspected to have COVID-19, the surface should be
cleaned and disinfected. Disinfecting kills germs on surfaces.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer relates mostly to cleaning and disinfecting in general and no mention of vacuum or additional links are provided.
This really doesn't help.  It talks about how cleaning can help, but it doesn't talk about how vacuuming can impact.

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Frequently Asked Questions
section_headers: Cleaning and Disinfection
How effective are alternative disinfection methods, such as ultrasonic waves, high intensity UV radiation, and LED blue light?
section_content: The efficacy of these disinfection methods against the virus that causes
COVID-19 is not known. EPA only recommends use of the surface disinfectants
identified on List Nexternal icon against the virus
that causes COVID-19. EPA does not routinely review the safety or efficacy of
pesticidal devices, such as UV lights, LED lights, or ultrasonic devices.
Therefore, EPA cannot confirm whether, or under what circumstances, such
products might be effective against the spread of COVID-19.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer relates only to disinfectants and other "pesticidal devices" and does not address the vacuum cleaner even in the link provided.
I wouldn't say that this is a good answer.  The passage doesn't talk about using a vacuum or anything similar at all.

Is it safe to vacuum in a school, business, or community facility after someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19 has been present?
section_content: The risk of transmitting or spreading SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes
COVID-19, during vacuuming is unknown. At this time, there are no reported
cases of COVID-19 associated with vacuuming. If vacuuming is necessary or
required in a school, business, or community facility that was used by a
person with suspected or confirmed COVID-19, first follow the CDC
recommendations for Cleaning and Disinfection for Community
Facilities that apply, which includes a wait time of 24
hours, or as long as practical.
After cleaning and disinfection, the following recommendations may help reduce
the risk to workers and other individuals when vacuuming:

Consider removing smaller rugs or carpets from the area completely, so there is less that needs to be vacuumed.
Use a vacuum equipped with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, if available.
Do not vacuum a room or space that has people in it. Wait until the room or space is empty to vacuum, such as at night, for common spaces, or during the day for private rooms.
Consider temporarily turning off room fans and the central HVAC system that services the room or space, so that particles that escape from vacuuming will not circulate throughout the facility.


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer addresses vacuuming specifically and gives links for additional information on how to clean and disinfect properly that the requester can use if they are still uncomfortable with vacuuming.
The answer doesn't directly address if the virus can be spread through vacuuming, but it does relate greatly to the question.  The whole passage is about vacuuming and the person asking this question would appreciate the information.
