 1. ESSENTIAL
 2. CRITICAL

In line with: National Preparedness and Response Plan for COVID-19, Bangladesh
(v3, 01 March 20220)

In line with the core group of health expert recommendations, this modality
should remain in place until we have more than 10 cases confirmed in the
camps (community transmission), at which point we will shift to critical.

1. ESSENTIAL
2. CRITICAL
Core assumptions
• Given the extremely high density in the camps, we assume that once the
virus is present, it will spread extremely rapidly.
• Given the evolution of Government policy and the understanding of the virus
transmission globally, we assume that restrictions on movement may be
imposed by the authorities.
• Restrictions on movement and requirement for social distancing may
continue for extended periods of time.
• Once the virus is in the camps, any staff working in the camps will be at
extremely high risk of exposure.
WASH Sector Meeting March 23, 2020 - Humanitarian Response
Essential
Facilities and services to remain open and staffed
• All health and nutrition facilities and services

   hygiene
• Site management and Logistics services (Maduchara/Balukali/Teknaf hubs)
WASH Sector Meeting March 23, 2020 - Humanitarian Response
Critical
