A business recovery plan is a tool for resuming operations after a significant interruption or emergency. The plan is designed to help companies gradually restore critical business functions to maintain continuity of service to customers and business partners.
It is recommended that these three questions be taken into account when deciding on a reopening.
Is your company located in a community where significant protection measures are no longer required?
Will you be able to restrict unneeded staff to those from the local geographic area?
Do you have protective measures for workers at increased risk (e.g. telework, tasks that minimise contact)?
If you have answered "Yes" to all three questions, you can consider reopening and proceed with the plan to resume operations.
