How can I help protect employees who may be at higher risk for severe illness?
section_content: Have conversations with employees if they express concerns. Some people may be
at higher risk of severe illness. This includes older
adults (65
years and older) and people of any age with serious underlying medical
conditions. By using strategies that help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in
the workplace, you will help protect all employees, including those at higher
risk. These strategies include:

Implementing telework and other social distancing practices
Actively encouraging employees to stay home when sick
Promoting handwashing
Providing supplies and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) for cleaning and disinfecting workspaces

In workplaces where it’s not possible to eliminate face-to-face contact (such
as retail), consider assigning higher risk employees work tasks that allow
them to maintain a 6-foot distance from others, if feasible.
Employers should not require employees to provide a note from their healthcare
provider when they are sick and instead allow them to inform their supervisors
or employee health services when they have conditions that put them at higher
risk for diseases.

page_title: Frequently Asked Questions
section_headers: Higher Risk
What should people at higher risk of serious illness with COVID-19 do?
section_content: If you are at higher risk of getting very sick from COVID-19, you should:

Stock up on supplies
Take everyday precautions to keep space between yourself and others
When you go out in public, keep away from others who are sick
Limit close contact and wash your hands often
Avoid crowds, cruise travel, and non-essential travel

If there is an outbreak in your community, stay home as much as possible.
Watch for symptoms and emergency signs. If you get sick, stay home and call
your doctor. More information on how to prepare, what to do if you get sick,
and how communities and caregivers can support those at higher risk is
available on People at Risk for Serious Illness from
COVID-19.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This does not answer the question. This answer contains information for people who are at higher risk of getting severe illness from Covid-19 of what they should do to protect themselves from Covid-19 and the question is asking for information for employers of how to protect their higher risk employees from Covid-19.
This talks about higher risk people, but not specific about what an employer should do to protect them.  An employee would still find the information useful though.

page_title: What Construction Workers Need to Know about COVID-19
section_headers: As a construction worker, how can I protect myself and slow the spread?
section_content: Potential sources of exposure include having close contact with a coworker or
member of the public who is ill with COVID-19 and touching your nose, mouth,
or eyes after touching surfaces contaminated with the virus or handling items
that others infected with COVID-19 have touched. Actions you can take include
the following:

Notify your supervisor and stay home if you have symptoms.
Follow CDC-recommended steps if you are sick. You should not return to work until the criteria to discontinue home isolation are met, in consultation with healthcare providers, your employer, and state and local health departments.
Follow CDC-recommended precautions and notify your supervisor if you are well but have a sick family member at home with COVID-19.
Limit close contact with others by maintaining a distance of at least 6 feet, when possible. 
Limit the number of workers in small workspace areas such as job site elevators, trailers and vehicles, and spaces under construction if possible.


CDC recommends wearing cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain, especially in areas where there is significant community-based transmission of COVID-19. 
Cloth face coverings may prevent people who don’t know they have the virus from transmitting it to others.


Cloth face coverings are NOT surgical masks or respirators and are not appropriate substitutes for them in workplaces where masks or respirators are recommended or required.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces such as shared tools, machines, vehicles and other equipment, handrails, ladders, doorknobs, and portable toilets. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces periodically throughout the shift but also: 
At the beginning and end of every shift
After anyone uses your vehicle, tools, or workstation


Limit tool sharing if possible.
Practice proper hand hygiene. This is an important infection control measure. With appropriate hand hygiene, you do not need gloves to protect you from COVID-19. When possible, wash your hands regularly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol. 
Key times to clean hands include: 
Before and after work shifts and breaks
After blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing
After using the restroom
Before eating and before and after preparing food
After touching objects which have been handled by coworkers, such as tools and equipment
Before putting on and after taking off work gloves
After putting on, touching, or removing cloth face coverings
Before donning or doffing eye or face protection (safety glasses, goggles, etc.)
Do not touch your eyes, nose, or mouth.
Use tissues when you cough, sneeze, or touch your face. Throw used tissues in the trash and wash your hands or use hand sanitizer containing 60% alcohol if a sink to wash your hands is not available.




Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This information does not answer the question. This information contains guidelines and recommendations on how workers can protect themselves from Covid-19, guidance on cleaning and disinfecting and what to do if a worker is sick, showing symptoms of Covid-19 or possibility of being exposed to the virus. However, it does not provide any information for employers of how to protect their higher risk employees from Covid-19 as asked in the question.
This is good information for an employer to have.  It addresses the issues that were raised in the question.
