Skeleton crew

A skeleton crew is the minimum number of personnel needed to operate and maintain an item – such as a business, organization,[1] or ship – at its most simple operating requirements.

Skeleton crews are often utilized during an emergency and are meant to keep an item's vital functions operating.

The COVID-19 pandemic is an example of when skeleton crews are used, such as in news stations.
