Question: What should I do a self isolating for covid 19

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Stay at home: guidance for households with possible or confirmed coronavirus (COVID-19) infection
section_headers: While you are self-isolating, make sure you do the following things
Wash your hands often
section_content: Clean your hands frequently by washing them with soap and water for 20 seconds
or using hand sanitiser. This will help protect you and the people you live
with. This is one of the most effective ways of reducing the risk of passing
infection to others.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
The question wants to know about steps for self isolation and this response is talking about washing your hands. These are not the same thing so this is a bad answer
There isn't a lot of info here.  The info is relevant though.  The answer is only okay.

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Guidance Stay at home: guidance for households with possible or confirmed coronavirus (COVID-19) infection
section_headers: While you are self-isolating, make sure you do the following things
Cover your coughs and sneezes
section_content: Cover your mouth and nose with disposable tissues when you cough or sneeze. If
you do not have a tissue, sneeze into the crook of your elbow, not into your
hand. Dispose of tissues into a disposable rubbish bag and immediately wash
your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds or use a hand sanitiser.
If you have a carer, they should use disposable tissues to wipe away any mucus
or phlegm after you have sneezed or coughed. Then they should wash their hands
with soap and water for 20 seconds.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
The information here is relevant, but there really isn't a lot of info.  It's only an okay answer.

Question: Can you tell me what COVID-19 is

Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Q&A: Older people and COVID-19
section_headers: What is COVID-19?
section_content: COVID-19 is a disease caused by a new coronavirus, which has not been
previously identified in humans. In most cases, COVID-19 causes mild symptoms
including dry cough, tiredness and fever, though fever may not be a symptom
for some older people. Other mild symptoms include aches and pains, nasal
congestion, runny nose, sore throat or diarrhoea. Some people become infected
but don’t develop any symptoms and don't feel unwell. Most people recover from
the disease without needing special treatment. Around 1 out of every 6 people
who gets COVID-19 becomes seriously ill and has difficulty breathing.

Question: Smokeless tobacco safer during COVID-19

Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Q&A: Tobacco and COVID-19
section_headers: As a smoker, is my risk of getting the COVID-19 virus higher than that of a non-smoker?
section_content: At the time of preparing this Q&A, there are no peer-reviewed studies that
have evaluated the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection associated with smoking.
However, tobacco smokers (cigarettes, waterpipes, bidis, cigars, heated
tobacco products) may be more vulnerable to contracting COVID-19, as the act
of smoking involves contact of fingers (and possibly contaminated cigarettes)
with the lips, which increases the possibility of transmission of viruses from
hand to mouth. Smoking waterpipes, also known as shisha or hookah, often
involves the sharing of mouth pieces and hoses, which could facilitate the
transmission of the COVID-19 virus in communal and social settings.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:

Question: Does the use of nicotine increase the chances of getting COVID-19?

Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Q&A: Tobacco and COVID-19
section_headers: What does WHO recommend for tobacco users?
section_content: Given the risks to health that tobacco use causes, WHO recommends quitting
tobacco use. Quitting will help your lungs and heart to work better from the
moment you stop. Within 20 minutes of quitting, elevated heart rate and blood
pressure drop. After 12 hours, the carbon monoxide level in the bloodstream
drops to normal. Within 2-12 weeks, circulation improves and lung function
increases. After 1-9 months, coughing and shortness of breath decrease.
Quitting will help to protect your loved ones, especially children, from
exposure to second-hand smoke.
WHO recommends the use of proven interventions such as toll-free quit lines,
mobile text-messaging cessation programmes, and nicotine replacement therapies
(NRTs), among others, for quitting tobacco use.

tobacco or nicotine in the prevention or treatment of COVID-19. WHO urges
researchers, scientists and the media to be cautious about amplifying unproven
claims that tobacco or nicotine could reduce the risk of COVID-19. WHO is

COVID-19. However, existing evidence indicates that electronic nicotine
delivery systems (ENDS) and electronic non-nicotine delivery systems (ENNDS),
more commonly referred to as e-cigarettes, are harmful and increase the risk
of heart disease and lung disorders. Given that the COVID-19 virus affects the
respiratory tract, the hand-to-mouth action of e-cigarette use may increase
the risk of infection.

Question: Is covid-19 transmitted through food?

Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Questions relating to food safety authorities
section_headers: What are the lab protocols for identifying the virus in food? On surfaces?
section_content: As food has not been implicated in the transmission of COVID-19, testing of
food or food surfaces for this virus is not recommended. Frequent cleaning of
food contact surfaces with virucidal disinfectants such as 0.05% sodium
hypochlorite (NaClO) or products based on ethanol (at least 70%) should be
carried out. Alcohol-based disinfectants (ethanol, propan-2-ol, propan-1-ol)
have been shown to significantly reduce infectivity of enveloped viruses like
SARS-CoV-2, in concentrations of 70-80% with one-minute exposure time.
Chlorine-based disinfectants (sodium hypochlorite) are effective for surface
decontamination, as are disinfectants with active ingredients based on
quaternary ammonium compounds (QUATS).

section_content: People can catch COVID-19 from others who have the virus. The disease spreads
primarily from person to person through small droplets from the nose or mouth,
which are expelled when a person with COVID-19 coughs, sneezes, or speaks.
These droplets are relatively heavy, do not travel far and quickly sink to the
ground. People can catch COVID-19 if they breathe in these droplets from a
person infected with the virus. This is why it is important to stay at least 1
meter) away from others. These droplets can land on objects and surfaces
around the person such as tables, doorknobs and handrails. People can become
infected ~~~~ by touching these objects or surfaces, then touching their eyes,
nose or mouth. This is why it is important to wash your hands regularly with
soap and water or clean with alcohol-based hand rub.  
WHO is assessing ongoing research on the ways that COVID-19 is spread and will

Question: What are the risks of me getting COVID-19 from food?

Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Questions relating to food businesses
section_headers: Could the virus be transmitted from humans to food animals or vice versa?
section_content: Currently, there is no evidence to suggest that food animals could be a
possible route for transmission of COVID-19 to humans or that food animals can
become infected by humans. Studies are underway to better understand the
susceptibility of different animal species to the COVID-19 virus and to assess
infection dynamics in susceptible animal species. Additional information can
be found on the website of the World Organisation for Animal Health
(OIE).

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Says that food animals aren't a transmission vector, but doesn't address food packaging touched by potentially infected workers.

Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Q&A: Considerations for the cleaning and disinfection of environmental surfaces in the context of COVID-19 in non-health care settings
section_headers: How should I clean food items from the grocery store, for example fruit, vegetables or packaged items?
section_content: There is no evidence to date of viruses that cause respiratory illnesses being
transmitted via food or food packaging. Coronaviruses cannot multiply in food;
they need an animal or human host to multiply.  
The COVID-19 virus is generally thought to be spread from person to person
through respiratory droplets. Currently, there is no evidence to support
transmission of the COVID-19 virus associated with food.  
Before preparing or eating food it is important to always wash your hands with
soap and water for at least 40-60 seconds. Regular food safety and handling
guidance should be followed.
See: https://www.who.int/activities/promoting-safe-food-
handling.
For food service businesses, please see the below guidance on COVID-19 and
Food Safety: https://www.who.int/teams/risk-communication/food-and-

Question: Can the virus live on frozen foods?

Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Questions relating to consumers
section_headers: Can the virus live on the surface of foods (including fruits and vegetables, frozen foods, pre-packaged foods)?
section_content: Coronaviruses cannot multiply in food – they need a live animal or human host
to multiply and survive (see question 10 of Questions relating to food
businesses).  

Reviewer feedback on this answer:

Question: Are pregnant women at a higher risk of catching COVID-19?

Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Q&A: Pregnancy, childbirth and COVID-19
section_headers: Are pregnant women at higher risk from COVID-19?
section_content: Research is currently underway to understand the impacts of COVID 19 infection
on pregnant women. Data are limited, but at present there is no evidence that
they are at higher risk of severe illness than the general population.
However, due to changes in their bodies and immune systems, we know that
pregnant women can be badly affected by some respiratory infections. It is
therefore important that they take precautions to protect themselves against
COVID-19, and report possible symptoms (including fever, cough or difficulty
breathing) to their healthcare provider.
WHO will continue to review and update its information and advice as more
evidence becomes available.

Question: Can I immediately hold and breastfeed my baby after birth if it's suspected that I have COVID-19?

Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Q&A: Breastfeeding and COVID-19
section_headers: I have confirmed or suspected COVID-19, is it safer to give my baby infant formula milk?
section_content: No. There are always risks associated with giving infant formula milk to
newborns and infants in all settings. The risks associated with giving infant
formula milk are increased whenever home and community conditions are
compromised, such as reduced access to health services if a baby becomes
unwell, reduced access to clean water and/or access to supplies of infant
formula milk are difficult or not guaranteed, affordable and sustainable.
The numerous benefits of breastfeeding substantially outweigh the potential
risks of transmission and illness associated with the COVID-19 virus.

page_title: Q&A: Considerations for the cleaning and disinfection of environmental surfaces in the context of COVID-19 in non-health care settings
section_headers: What areas should be prioritized for disinfection in non-health care settings?
section_content: Disinfection practices are important to reduce the potential for COVID-19
virus contamination in non-healthcare settings, such as in the home, office,
schools, gyms, publicly accessible buildings, faith-based community centres,
markets, transportation and business settings or restaurants. High-touch
