Corona Virus (COVID-19) Policies and Procedures

Coronavirus (COVID-19)

At Pane Vivente, caring for our guests and employees is always our priority. While we consistently maintain high standards of hygiene at our property, we have implemented additional measures in response to the Coronavirus (Covid-19). These measures are in place to mitigate any potential risks and follow the recommended guidelines from the WHO and are under ongoing review.

What we are doing

While the situation is still evolving rapidly, we know it is important to be prepared to deal with any escalation in the spread of the virus and have the following actions in place:

  • Comprehensive employee communications policy to ensure reliable, up-to-date information is communicated to employees and to clarify procedures and policies around mitigating the risks associated with Covid-19
  • We have circulated WHO guidelines on personal hygiene and travel arrangements to all employees
  • We have implemented full procedures for sanitising guestrooms including all touch points e.g. remote controls, handles, light switches
  • Property linen washed on a higher temperature
  • We are committed to providing the additional manpower required to implement best practice procedures
  • We are committed to playing our part in trying to prevent Covid-19 from escalating
  • We ask that our customers do the same and follow the WHO guidelines regarding personal hygiene and Covid-19
  • We'll give you the elbow rather than a handshake
