#### 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).
