Question: What should I know about shielding to help protect someone?

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance COVID-19: guidance for young people on shielding and protecting people most likely to become unwell if they catch coronavirus
section_headers: Staying at home and shielding for clinically extremely vulnerable people
section_content: Clinically extremely vulnerable people need to take extra action to prevent
themselves from coming into contact with the virus, this is known as
‘shielding’.
If you are part of this group, the NHS will have sent you or will send you, a
letter and/or a text confirming this. The letter may be sent to your parent or
guardian on your behalf. If you think you are part of this group but you
haven’t been contacted by the NHS, you should call your GP or hospital doctor
for advice.
After sending you a letter your clinician will be in touch to discuss what
actions you should take depending on your individual circumstances. These may
include:

Do not leave your house until 30 June, at which point further guidance will be issued - this means staying at home at all times after getting your letter.
Do not meet up with people outside of your household, including friends and family that don’t usually live with you, even if you are 2 metres apart (3 steps).
Strictly avoid contact with anyone who is showing symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19).

Tell everyone that is not an essential supporter or carer that they cannot
visit you. People from outside of your household must not come into your home,
and you must not leave your home to meet them.
You should arrange for other people to bring you the things you need and leave
them outside your door (remember, they should not come into your home and you
should not leave home to meet them). To reduce the risk of exposure even more,
wash your hands after handling the delivery.
You can ask friends or family to get your medication for you. If they cannot
do this, you can contact your pharmacy and ask them to deliver it as many
pharmacies are already doing this. Otherwise you can use the NHS
App.
If that is not possible, or you need support to get other things, go to
www.gov.uk/coronavirus-extremely-vulnerable and fill in your details for free
support to be arranged for you.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
The question is about shielding.  There is no information about shielding in the answer.  I don't think that the question is really answered here.
This is a bad answer because it doesn’t mention anything about shielding, even though it is talking about the desired demographic (those who are vulnerable). Due to lack of shielding information, this is considered bad.

page_title: Guidance Guidance on shielding and protecting people who are clinically extremely vulnerable from COVID-19
section_headers: Staying at home and shielding
section_content: If you’re clinically extremely vulnerable, you’re strongly advised to stay at
home at all times and avoid any face-to-face contact to protect yourself.
This is called ‘shielding’ and the advice is:

Do not leave your house.
Do not attend any gatherings, including gatherings of friends and families in private spaces, for example, family homes, weddings and religious services.
Strictly avoid contact with someone who is displaying symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19).

The Government is currently advising people to shield until 30 June 2020 and
is regularly monitoring this position.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
The answer mentions shielding, but there is not a lot of information there.  The information there is relevant though.
This is an excellent answer because it provides direct information about shielding, and how the medically vulnerable can depend on shielding to keep themselves safe. Therefore, this answers the question.
