COVID-19: Minimum Operational Standards
Minimum standards have been selected from across the full range of preventative measures to establish key points of quality and consistency across all of our programs.
Due to the variance in the context in which we work, it is possible that teams can create exceptions to minimum standards.
Minimum Standards, and any program level exceptions are detailed in this sheet.
Use the COVID-19 Preventative Measures Checklist template to track progress and detail plans.
