Planning a Weekend Trip? Here are Some COVID Precautions to Keep in Mind

The world is adapting to a new normal. As we go on, all of us will have to adjust to new ways of doing the usual activities. Travelling and hotel stays are going to be different now. People are going to opt for shorter distances, rather than long-distance travelling. The resorts near Kolkata for weekend trip will be an ideal choice for enjoying a quiet, peaceful break.

But if you are planning a resort getaway for a weekend, remember to choose a resort that’s closer to the city. Reaching the destination should not take more than a few hours’ drive. In these circumstances, most families would not like to hire an unknown driver. So if you’re going to be driving, pick a resort that’s not too far. This will ensure you do not get tired before even reaching there.

And of course, the health and hygiene factor is most important when it comes to choosing resorts near Kolkata for weekend trip. The following sanitization measures must be followed.

1. The entire staff must be wearing N95 masks and gloves at all times.
2. Hand sanitizers must be available in each room and at every point of the resort.
3. At the reception area, the floor should be marked at every 2 meters distance so guests can stand without breaking the social distancing protocol.
4. All touch points (like door knobs, switches, door handles, safety latches and taps etc.) shall be cleaned regularly with disinfectant cleaner.
5. The body temperature of all incoming guests must be checked. Only those with a value of 98.3 Fahrenheit or below will be allowed to check-in.
6. If the guests arrive via personal vehicle, the car shall be washed at the gates itself.
7. Resorts should not operate on full capacity of rooms to ensure less people are present in the property.
8. Daily thermal scanning checks must be done for all guests and staff.
9. Only trained professionals shall be allowed to enter and work in the kitchen.
