For guests, SAFE STAY means that:

We maintain good hand hygiene with frequent handwashing and use of hand sanitizer.
We regularly clean communal areas and surfaces that are touched frequently.
We keep at least 1 metre away from others.
Hotel staff who are in contact with guests wear face masks.
We tell you about infection prevention measures, both verbally and through posters and notices.
We stay at home if we feel unwell.
All hotels follow local restrictions for their region.

Hotel rooms are cleaned thoroughly between guest arrivals. The chemicals used are effective for disinfection, whilst also being easy on humans and the environment.
The housekeeping staff pay extra attention to wiping the following: door handles, sinks, remote controls, hairdryers and surfaces that are touched a lot, as well as light switches and other electrical appliances.
Glasses and towels are replaced between guest arrivals, regardless of whether they were used or not.
The housekeeping staff use one set of disposable gloves and one set of cleaning cloths per room.
In the event or high probability of a guest with Covid-19 having stayed in a hotel room, the room, and other areas visited by that guest, will be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. All textiles, bedding and pillows will be washed.

The traditional buffets has been adapted in light of the current situation. Displays on coffee machines, juice dispensers and so on are regularly cleaned.
Serving trays, cutlery and simliar items are regularly exchanged by the serving staff.
We avoid queueing boht inside and outside the restaurant. If necessary, the floor will be marked with 1-metre distance markers.
Hand sanitizer is available throughout the hotel and by the restaurant entrance.
Exposed areas are being cleaned 1-2 times per hour during service.
Particularly exposed areas, such as payment terminals and menu cards are being cleaned between guests.
Table service applies to all meals, except for breakfast buffets and evening meal buffets.
Tables are positioned to make sure guests can maintain a distance of at least 1 metre from each other.
The staff use disposable gloves when serving and clearing tables.
Tables and chairs will be disinfected with sanitizer after each seating.

Before the conference:

The capacity of the conference facilities determines how many participants can attend the conference. There must be at least 1 metre between individual participants. Many of our hotels have extra rooms and equipment for video conferences or video transmission, which makes it possible to include more participants, i.e. dispersed in several rooms.
To ensure that guidelines on distancing, and disease and infection control, are followed, hosts need to provide a complete guest list, including contact information of all the participants, to the hotel in advance.
Tables, chairs, door handles and other surfaces are thoroughly cleaned before and after conferences.

During the conference:

Hand sanitizer is available for use at the entrance and in all communal areas, both inside and outside the conference room.
There are posters to inform people about infection control, e.g. to stay at least 1 metre away from other people.
Tables and chairs are spaced out, so that conference guests can maintain a distance of at least 1 metre from other participants.
Frequently used areas and surfaces are regularly cleaned during conferences. We are extra careful with items and surfaces that are touched frequently, e.g. technical equipment, coffee machines and door handles.
Food service either inside or outside the conference rooms is provided in accordance with current regulatins and recommendations from the authorities.
