The model requires us to cluster or classify businesses with high impact (or drivers of
economic activities) and the type or nature of their operations in terms of the risks in
exposure and likelihood as carrier (spreader) of the virus. The model looks at ramping
businesses over a period of 18 months. Accordingly, the Chambers and business or
industry associations shall cluster the businesses.
