What happens if someone shows symptoms of COVID-19?

Our team has been fully briefed on how to approach guests that may be unwell or are self-isolating, and we remain in close daily contact with each team member to ensure they remain in good health. If employees or an immediate family member does not feel well, the order is to stay at home and clarify any medical condition before returning to work.

Should a guest present with any symptoms or feel unwell during their stay, we kindly ask them to stay in their room, contact local health authorities and update the Front Desk team of their situation. 

If a guest becomes unwell, we will liaise with them to get a list of their requirements e.g. medical needs, extra linen, etc. All items requested by the guests (throughout self-isolation) will be left outside the door for the guest to take, whilst wearing a mask. 

Each of our properties has a full list of protocols to follow should a colleague or guest become ill.

We are committed to communicating with our properties on a regular basis and providing resources to  our team in this unprecedented time, including an employee assistance programme and a HR helpline for anyone needing advice or assistance.
