Generic RAG escalation trigger tool for winter respiratory viruses
The RAG Escalation Trigger tool for winter respiratory viruses for mask wearing is designed as a practical aid to support organisations in assessing risk and making informed decisions about when to implement universal masking measures.
It does not replace professional judgment or local policies but serves as a structured guide to help evaluate key factors such as transmission risk, vulnerability of patient populations, and operational considerations. By providing a clear framework, this tool aims to enhance consistency and confidence in decision-making during periods of increased respiratory virus infection risk.
