Question: Do wastewater workers need any additional protections due to COVID-19?

Answer passage (source: CDC):
page_title: Frequently Asked Questions
section_headers: COVID-19 and Water
Should wastewater workers take extra precautions to protect themselves from the virus that causes COVID-19?
section_content: Recently, the virus that causes COVID-19 has been found in untreated
wastewater. While data are limited, there is no information to date that
anyone has become sick with COVID-19 because of exposure to wastewater.
Standard practices associated with wastewater treatment plant operations
should be sufficient to protect wastewater workers from the virus that causes
COVID-19. These standard practices can include engineering and administrative
controls, hygiene precautions, specific safe work practices, and personal
protective equipment
(PPE)
normally required when handling untreated wastewater. No additional
COVID-19–specific protections are recommended for workers involved in
wastewater management, including those at wastewater treatment facilities.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer is good because it addresses wastewater and those people that work in wastewater.
This answer relates to the question of what those working in wastewater should do and additional protections.

What do waste management companies need to know about wastewater and sewage coming from a healthcare facility or community setting with either a known COVID-19 patient or person under investigation (PUI)?
section_content: Waste generated in the care of PUIs or patients with confirmed COVID-19 does
not present additional considerations for wastewater disinfection in the
United States. Coronaviruses are susceptible to the same disinfection
conditions in community and healthcare settings as other viruses, so current
disinfection conditions in wastewater treatment facilities are expected to be
sufficient. This includes conditions for practices such as oxidation with
hypochlorite (i.e., chlorine bleach) and peracetic acid, as well as
inactivation using UV irradiation.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
This answer only relates to those who have a confirmed case of COVID-19, and not general protections.
This answer talks about wastewater and how the virus can be in wastewater.  However, it doesn't talk about what PPE people working with wastewater should wear.

Do wastewater and sewage workers need any additional protection when handling untreated waste from healthcare or community setting with either a known COVID-19 patient or PUI?
section_content: Wastewater workers should use standard practices including basic hygiene
precautions and
wear the recommended
PPE as
prescribed for their current work tasks when handling untreated waste. There
is no evidence to suggest that employees of wastewater plants need any
additional protections in relation to COVID-19.

Reviewer feedback on this answer:
I think this is a good answer.  It gives information about wastewater workers and what PPE they should have.
This answer, will addressing and answering the question, could have more information available.
