Do you offer COVID-READY Certification or renewals if we already have certification?
We have been making changes to our COVIDREADY Certification requirements to account for the global trend of relaxed/cancelled Covid restrictions. Our requirements for certification, or in the case of renewal, will be focused on being prepared to implement Covid actions should the need arise due to rising infection rates of a variant of concern. The following sums up our new requirements:
  1. The hotel is following all government COVID regulations for operation.
  2. The hotel ensures staff members are up-to-date on Covid vaccinations if available.
  3. Safety protocols are in place for staff and guests that are Covid positive.
  4. Safe cleaning procedures are in place to protect staff.
  5. Safe hygiene is practiced and encouraged.
  6. Hand sanitizer stations are provided at key locations throughout the hotel.
  7. Guests and staff are informed of the latest COVID-19 updates, risks and regulations if applicable.
  8. COVID SOPs for all hotel activities and services are ready to be implemented if needed.
  9. COVID SOPs for restaurants are ready to be implemented if needed.
  10. A system to screen guests and staff for COVID-19 is ready to be implemented if needed.
  11. A staff member is in charge of monitoring government COVID regulations and ensuring compliance where needed.
  12. Staff have clearly defined roles should they need to respond to a COVID-19 outbreak at the hotel.
For renewing your COVIDREADY Certification, we propose a remote review consisting of submittal of key documents (e.g., SOPs) and photos (hygiene stations, signage, etc.) as well as an online interview to discuss the measures you are implementing or prepared to implement if needed. I will get back to you next week with more details on how to proceed with renewal. 
COVID-READY Renewal Certifications are 299 Euros.
