Matrix

DECISION MATRIX TOOL

The CWA has developed a set of decision matrices to help you identify, analyze, and compare the performance of different strategies that you may put into place in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic. 

​

This document covers, Hygiene policies, cleaning products or methods, events, and occupancy calculations. You can save a copy of this document and alter questions or values to suit your needs.

​

These matrices are meant as a tool to help you make these critical decisions based on your local laws and culture. They are only a framework and not definitive.

​

If you need help with this tool email us at hello@cwapro.org.
