• Description:
  RRT activation criteria and processes are outlined in the RRT General Guidance, Section 4.1. For COVID-19, RRT activation may occur prior to detection of a COVID-19 case in a particular administrative area. Examples include when there is transmission in a neighboring administrative area or when the emergency response system has already been activated (e.g. Emergency Operations Center (EOC) activation or country-equivalent). Given the high risk of COVID-19 person-to-person transmission, countries can consider prepositioning multidisciplinary RRTs prior to large-scale transmission. For more information about this and how RRT activation may fit within the larger emergency response system see the “COVID-19 72-Hour Response Plan Checklist”.
