    The document outlines parameters for applying a zoning containment strategy to control the spread of COVID-19. It defines four zoning classifications - Critical Zone, Containment Zone, Buffer Zone, and Areas Outside Buffer Zones - and provides epidemiological thresholds for classifying different geographical units under each zone. Specifically, it states that a house would be classified as a Critical Zone if one confirmed COVID-19 case is present, while a residential building floor would need two cases in different units on the same floor to be classified as such. It also provides parameters for classifying business establishments based on their size and the number of COVID-19 clusters present.
