Question: Who should be practicing self-care

Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Q&A: Self-care interventions for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and COVID-19
section_headers: Who is self care for?
section_content: Self care can be practiced by everyone and evidence-based self-care
interventions have the potential to benefit even the most vulnerable
populations. For individuals who may need to access information, counselling
or a health services before, during or after accessing a self-care
intervention, links with existing health services remains important. Examples
of providing access to referrals and health facilities for non-COVID-19
related SRH conditions may include ensuring antenatal care visits, delivery
and postpartum care; retesting and HIV treatment if an individual’s HIV self-
test is positive along with other STI diagnostic and treatment as required. In
addition, crisis centers, shelters, legal aid, and protection services for
individuals subject to violence.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Says that everyone should be practicing self-care and gives examples of specific practices.

Question: Can young people spread COVID-19 still be asymptomatic

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.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Doesn't address whether either children or asymptomatic people can spread COVID-19.

Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Q&A on coronaviruses (COVID-19)
section_headers: Can children or adolescents catch COVID-19?
section_content: Research indicates that children and adolescents are just as likely to become
infected as any other age group and can spread the disease.
Evidence to date suggests that children and young adults are less likely to
get severe disease, but severe cases can still happen in these age groups.
Children and adults should follow the same guidance on self-quarantine and
self-isolation if there is a risk they have been exposed or are showing
symptoms. It is particularly important that children avoid contact with older
people and others who are at risk of more severe disease.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Points out that children can still spread coronavirus, but doesn't address whether they can do so while asymptomatic.

Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Q&A: Adolescents, youth and COVID-19
section_headers: Can adolescents spread COVID-19 to other people even if they have mild or no symptoms?
section_content: Yes. Infected people in all age groups – including adolescents - can transmit
the virus to other people, even if they have mild symptoms or do not feel ill.
The virus is spread from person to person through small droplets from the nose
or mouth which are spread when a person with COVID-19 coughs, sneezes or
speaks. These droplets can land on objects and surfaces. People can then
become infected by touching these objects or surfaces, and then touching their
eyes, nose or mouth.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Clearly states that children can spread the coronavirus even if they're asymptomatic.
The answer is relevant and vaguely discusses asymptomatic cases.

Question: Should a mother continue to breastfeed even if she has symptoms of COVID-19?

Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Q&A: Breastfeeding and COVID-19
section_headers: I have confirmed or suspected COVID-19 and am too unwell to breastfeed my baby directly. What can I do?
section_content: If you are too unwell to breastfeed your baby due to COVID-19 or other
complications, you should be supported to safely provide your baby with breast
milk in a way possible, available, and acceptable to you. This could include:

Expressing milk;
Donor human milk. 

If expressing breast milk or donor human milk are not feasible then consider
wet nursing (another woman breastfeeds the child) or infant formula milk with
measures to ensure that it is feasible, correctly prepared, safe and
sustainable.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer can be inferred from the fact that the answer given only refers to if the mother is too "unwell" to breastfeed but does allow for expressing of breastmilk.
Clarifies that the only reason to stop breast-feeding while infected is if you're too ill to physically manage it.

Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Q&A: Breastfeeding and COVID-19
section_headers: If a mother confirmed or suspected to have COVID-19 does not have a medical face mask should she still breastfeed?
section_content: Yes. Breastfeeding unquestionably reduces mortality in newborns and infants
and provides numerous lifelong health and brain development advantages to the
child.
Mothers with symptoms of COVID-19 are advised to wear a medical mask, but even
if this is not possible, breastfeeding should be continued. Mothers should
follow other infection prevention measures, such as washing hands, cleaning
surfaces, sneezing or coughing into a tissue.  
Non-medical masks (e.g. home-made or cloth masks) have not been evaluated. At
this time, it is not possible to make a recommendation for or against their
use.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer is very clear on the benefits of breastfeeding even if the mother may have COVID-19 and gives instruction on what to do in order to keep breastfeeding.
Provides a very clear answer to the question of whether sick mothers should breastfeed.

Question: Can COVID-19 be transmitted through imported food from countries with a high prevalence of the virus?

Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Questions relating to food safety authorities
section_headers: How should imported foods from countries with high prevalence of COVID-19 be treated?
section_content: As food has not been implicated in the transmission of COVID-19, imported food
should be subjected to the same import controls as before the pandemic. See
FAO guidance on risk based imported food
control.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer is very concise and understandable and has a link for additional information regarding risk assessment for imported food.
This answer is excellent because it states that imported foods have not been spreading the virus, but it does clarify that rules are set in place to monitor imported food anyway. Therefore, this answer satisfies the question.

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:
Answer only addresses "food animals" and says nothing about importing them as food nor does it mention other foods like grains, fruits, vegetables, etc.
This answer is excellent because it states that animals used for food have not been proven to transmit the virus, therefore answering the question.

the same import controls should apply as before this pandemic. See Q&A from
the World Organisation for Animal Health for more about COVID-19 and animals.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
Answer only concerns itself with "food animals" being imported and not other kinds of foods like candies, fruits, and vegetables.

Question: If I have COVID-19, should I avoid touching my newborn baby?

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.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer is irrelevant to the question. It provides information on giving infant formula milk to newborns and infants and it does not provide any information on whether or not a person with Covid-19 should avoid touching newborn baby as asked in the question.
This answer is more talking about the risks of breastfeeding a child.  Not about holding a baby.

section_headers: Can COVID-19 be passed from a woman to her unborn or newborn baby?
section_content: We still do not know if a pregnant woman with COVID-19 can pass the virus to
her foetus or baby during pregnancy or delivery. To date, the active virus has
not been found in samples of amniotic fluid or breastmilk.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer is talking about a mother passing the virus through bodily fluid.  The question is about it being safe enough to hold a baby.
This does not answer the question. The question is asking whether or not a person with Covid-19 should avoid touching her newborn baby. However, the answer is providing known information on Covid-19 transmission from mother to her foetus during pregnancy or delivery.

Answer passage (source: WHO):
page_title: Q&A: Pregnancy, childbirth and COVID-19
section_headers: Can I touch and hold my newborn baby if I have COVID-19?
section_content: Yes. Close contact and early, exclusive breastfeeding helps a baby to thrive.
You should be supported to

Breastfeed safely, with good respiratory hygiene; 
Hold your newborn skin-to-skin, and 
Share a room with your baby

You should wash your hands before and after touching your baby, and keep all
surfaces clean.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
The answer isn't direct, but it pretty much says that holding or even breastfeeding a baby is okay.
This does not answer the question. This information is about supports for mother to breastfeed, skin to skin contact and share a room with a baby and does not provide any information on whether or not a person with Covid-19 should avoid touching her newborn baby.

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:
Specifically clarifies that food, including fruits and vegetables, is an unlikely source of coronavirus infection.

section_headers: Why are self-care interventions important during a pandemic like COVID-19?
section_content: With the major disruptions to the normal functioning of national health
systems caused by the need to respond to people who have or are affected by
the virus, evidence-based, high-quality self-care interventions can provide an
important alternative to the usual health facility- or health worker-based
services. Self-care is a valuable part of a well-functioning health system and
can be particularly useful when physical distancing measures make it more
difficult for people to access their normal health care services and
medications.
