Question: What are guidelines for protecting police dogs from COVID-19?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: If You Have Pets
section_headers: Protect pets if you are sick
section_content: If you are sick with COVID-19 (either suspected or confirmed by a test), you
should restrict contact with your pets and other animals, just like you would
with people. Until we know more about this virus, people sick with COVID-19
should avoid contact with pets and other animals.

When possible, have another member of your household care for your pets while you are sick.
Avoid contact with your pet including, petting, snuggling, being kissed or licked, and sharing food or bedding.
If you must care for your pet or be around animals while you are sick, wear a cloth face covering and wash your hands before and after you interact with them.

If you are sick with COVID-19 and your pet becomes sick, do not take your
pet to the veterinary clinic yourself. Call your veterinarian and let them
know you have been sick with COVID-19. Some veterinarians may offer
telemedicine consultations or other plans for seeing sick pets. Your
veterinarian can evaluate your pet and determine the next steps for your pet’s
treatment and care.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This doesn't say anything about dogs specifically or about police dogs at all, so it doesn't really do anything to answer the question.
This mentions animals in the response. There's nothing about police dogs but there are some bullet points that would still be relevant. Its a decent answer but not great

page_title: If You Have Pets
section_headers: What to do if you own pets
section_content: Until we learn more about how this virus affects animals, treat pets as you
would other human family members to protect them from a possible infection.

Do not let pets interact with people or other animals outside the household.
Keep cats indoors when possible to prevent them from interacting with other animals or people.
Walk dogs on a leash, maintaining at least 6 feet (2 meters) from other people and animals.
Avoid dog parks or public places where a large number of people and dogs gather.

There is a small number of animals around the world reported to be infected
with the virus that causes COVID-19, mostly after having contact with a person
with COVID-19. Talk to your veterinarian if your pet gets sick or if you have
any concerns about your pet’s health.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This doesn't talk about police dogs specifically but it does talk about pet safety so the information is still all relevant here. The lack of police canine mentions knocks it to acceptable
This is a good answer about how to handle dogs in general and keep them safe, but it doesn't say anything specific about police dogs at all.

page_title: FAQs for Law Enforcement Agencies and Personnel
section_headers: Is there any specific guidance for protecting police canines from COVID-19 exposure?
section_content: We are still learning about the virus, but it appears that it can spread from
people to animals in some situations. Therefore, CDC recommends that people
sick with COVID-19 restrict contact with animals until more information is
known about the virus.

If a police canine that has been exposed to a person or setting with COVID-19 develops a new illness, contact your veterinary clinic and let them know that a working dog with a COVID-19 exposure has developed a new illness.
Your veterinarian can evaluate your pet and determine the next steps for your pet’s treatment and care. For more information, please see CDC’s If You Have Animals guidance.
Do not use products not approved for use on animals to try to clean a police canine’s fur or paws.


Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer tells some things about what you can do if your dog has been exposed, but it doesn't really say anything about how to keep them from being exposed in the first place.
This is a pretty pointed question but this answer does address it head on. It talks about police canines that have been exposed and provides an external link for more info
