# BC Execution Stages: 6 "R"s
[Moh Heng Goh](https://blog.bcm-institute.org/pandemic-infectious-diseases/author/moh-heng-goh) Jun 9, 2021
#### Infectious Disease Timeline and BC Execution Stages
#### BC Execution Stages
The execution of a typical BC plan includes the following stages:
- Reduce
- Respond
- Recover
- Resume
- Restore
- Return
#### Infectious Disease 6 ‘Rs’ Plan
A typical Infectious Disease BC Plan consists of the following components:
- Reduce
- The focus is on the preventive and mitigation measures.
- Respond
- The focus is to manage and contain the Infectious Disease incident.
- Recover/Resume/Restore/Return
- Limited planning except for some high level documented process to handle the critical business functions.
The focus is to restore the non-critical functions and damaged infrastructures so operations can return to normal. An Infectious Disease response plan must handle:
- Preventive measures to minimise contamination (Infectious Disease Prevention).
- Immediate responses to a disaster (Infectious Disease emergency response).
