Explanation:

1. For an infected hand wound, food safety guidelines require impermeable coverage to prevent contamination.
2. Food handlers with gastrointestinal symptoms (diarrhea, vomiting) or fever-related illness (sore throat with fever) must avoid food work; a headache alone does not pose a contamination risk.
3. Smoking is prohibited in food preparation areas; outdoor smoking at a safe distance from entry points is permissible.

Answer:

1. Must be covered with an impermeable cover such as a finger cot and a single-use glove over the impermeable cover.
2. Headache.
