If you need to do a matrix (I hate the bloody things) you need to look at the hazard (SARS-CoV-2 virus) and the likelihood of the negative event (eg risk of infection) the likelihood is almost entirely dependent on what you are doing, where and involving what people.

So I can’t really provide you with this sort of risk assessment unless I have a context and even then you won’t have ownership of the risk unless you do your own.  

I agree that Covid-19 must be risk assessed. However, I don’t think it should be assessed in the traditional way of using Likelihood x Severity or risk matrix, it should be conducted as a business risk.

As with all viruses, pathogens, diseases etc. these cannot be immediately detected humanly. So, we cannot assess the likelihood of a person being in contact with the hazard simply because we don’t know where the hazard is. Likewise, once a person has been exposed to the hazards, we cannot evaluate the severity (or consequence) of the hazard to that person, some people may just be a carrier and others have severe consequences. In addition, be cautious of ALARP and assumptions on residual risk, due to the potential severity outcome we must take all precaution to reduce to risk of transmitting the disease. Therefore, using a risk matrix may not be helpful for Covid-19.

Standard Infection Control Precautions (SICP) have been utilised in Health and Social Care for many years for preventing the spread of transmitted infectious agents (known or not). Conventionally, the task would be considered when utilising the precautions, nevertheless, with the current pandemic of Covid-19 every person is at risk, irrespective of the task and therefore all precautions must be taken.

As with business risks, document the risk to the business on your Organisational Risk Register (if applicable) and detail the company’s precaution that will be used to manage the risk, how these will be implemented, and who holds overall responsibility for the implementation. Certifying that all of the control measures are implemented and communicated to the relevant people will ensure that the assessment of this risk is suitable and sufficient. 

I would be very interested to see a quantative  risk assessment that had a real substance in fact

Look at deaths in Hospitals who are supposed to be the best at infection control. I spent 2 hours looking at staff working in a local hospital 30 feet from a live infection ward for Covid-19. I can honestly say I doubt Covid-19 can be as infectious as we think.

We are all better to concentrate on making staff feel better mentally as the long terms stress is much more likely to be an issue, rather than deciding if you have a high medium or low risk.
