Tips for a Safe Hotel Stay During COVID-19

The pandemic had driven the whole world indoors. From routine tasks like grocery shopping to unforgettable events like marriage, everything was on hold. But with time, we saw an ease in restrictions, especially in Dubai. Malls and restaurants were opened and adapting to the new normal. After months of quarantine, it isn’t surprising that people want a change of scenery. Whether you have planned a quick weekend trip or a short journey, staying at a hotel may be on your list. If you are considering a hotel stay, here are some fundamental tips to follow during COVID-19

1. Research Hotel’s Sanitization Policies 

When stepping outdoors, safety and sanitization should always be the number priority. Especially when staying at a hotel, it’s mandatory to understand the hotel’s COVID-19 precautionary steps.  

2. Book & Pay Online  

Choose online reservations and contactless payments. 

3. Wear a Mask & Maintain Social Distancing  

Although we don’t have to remind you about wearing a mask, it’s still necessary to add it to the list. Wearing a mask is one of the effective ways to protect yourself and others from COVID-19. Pack extra masks for the trip, so you remain fresh and clean. Additionally, maintain distance throughout your stay and follow the distancing requirements implemented by the hotel.  

4. Avoid Common & Crowded Places  

It’s best to avoid common and crowded places as much as possible. Request for room service or dine outside. Skip the elevator and take the stairs. Following these simple tips will ensure you remain safe. 

5. Keep Up with Your Hygiene Practices

There’s no vacation for hygiene practices. Frequently wash and sanitize your hands after exchanging items (cards, keys, etc.), using the bathroom, and entering or leaving public areas.  

Traveling can be hectic during the pandemic, but it can still be enjoyable. If you are looking for a quick weekend trip, we suggest exploring Sharjah, the true cultural hub.
