Covid-19 is the world health crisis since the end of world war 11. Since its emergence in
November 2019. Over 1.5 million people have been affected by the disease. The disease has
caused panic around the world because it quickly spreads. The virus has reduced the economic
and social activities in every part of the world, and its effects are worse than those experienced in

operations (Torales & Ventriglio, 2020). The health care organization in the 21st century must
develop plans that are metric-driven.

handling humanitarian aspects such as preparedness, response, mitigation, and recovery.
Mitigation: refers to a phase where a risk assessment is conducted to identify the most
critical hazards. One should consider the risks that an organization could face in the future. An
analysis of the employees, stakeholders, and competitors should be conducted to assess the
impact the crisis could have on the organization. All options that could affect the business should
be considered and have a plan to handle a situation where one of the employees tests positive for
covid-19 (Cucinotta, and Vanelli, 2020). In such a situation, the organization should consider
