Summer’s arrival and cities’ reopenings have primed hotels to roll out red carpets to their guests – although some hotels must conduct daily temperature checks of staff.
The New York Hotel Trades Council (HTC) requires unionized NY and NJ hotels to implement daily temperature checks of workers. Intended to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the agreement requires hotels to send any worker with a temperature over 100.4 degrees for COVID-19 testing.
As it has with other sectors, Mobile Health can partner with hotels to provide Onsite Temperature Screening and Testing of workers. Our mobile teams ‘check in’ daily to set up, staff and manage temperature screenings. They can also provide COVID-19 testing if needed.
Onsite screening and testing helps keep your hotel compliant, freeing you to focus on guests. It also can enhance profitability by reducing time lost by employees awaiting test results and/or recovering.
The HTC agreement extends the council’s March Coronavirus Hotel Safety Protocol. Additionally, it requires hotel guests to wear masks and practice social distancing.
