The global hospitality and casinos industry has been hit hard by the COVID-19 crisis. Many hotels, casinos, restaurants, resorts have felt the emptiness as governments and public health officials worked tirelessly to limit the spread of coronavirus.

Many hotels and casinos are taking a holistic approach to safety. They are ensuring that each and every room, bar, restaurant, lounge, and seating area, is cleaned, and disinfected with approved industry-grade chemicals. These are a few of the steps they’re taking to enhance safety:
Companies are working individually to protect their restaurants, bar, and lounge areas from the spread of coronavirus. Let’s look at the essential steps taken.
Hotels and casinos are following a strict disinfection schedule for all frequently touched items and areas. Social distancing decals, masks, and stickers have been positioned throughout the premises. In areas with high foot traffic, social distancing signs and sneeze guards are installed to serve as constant reminders to keep a safe distance. Hotels have also invested in a contactless check-in process for guests to enhance the experience.
Businesses are ensuring that their employees are well-equipped with tools that will allow them to do the best work while staying safe. Hotel and casino employees are required to follow strict physical distancing measures at all times. Staff who exhibit any symptoms of Coronavirus are required to stay home.
A number of companies provide appropriate PPE to all employees based on their job duties and positions. Each time a visitor or guest enters the property, their body temperature is checked. A number of hotels are using walk-through temperature scanners to monitor and provide testing accuracy. All employees are required to limit face-to-face contact with guests, refrain from entering occupied rooms, and follow a contactless delivery protocol.
