Hospitality Net published an article written by Stacy Bercun Bohm and Daniel Miktus analyzing the World Health Organization’s (WHO) guidance for hotels and accommodation providers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“As a result of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, many jurisdictions have enacted orders imposing additional safety requirements upon hotel operations, shutting down portions of hotels, and shutting down hotels except for certain guests including medical workers and emergency first responders. On March 31, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) chimed in by issuing interim guidance on the "Operational considerations for COVID-19 management in the accommodation sector," addressed to tourism accommodation establishments such as hotels, holiday and other short-term stay accommodations, and campsites… It is also recommended that hotel and other accommodation providers ensure that all WHO guidance complies with applicable federal, state, and local orders pertaining to your establishment.”
