As the second wave of the COVID-19 infection rages on, affecting over 71,000 in the country with over 400 deaths and the Western Region recording 4,043 cases with 27 deaths, hotels in the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis have demonstrated their readiness to comply with the President’s Directives on the fight against the spread of COVID-19.
As such, they have put measures in place to prevent the spread of the disease like the provision of sanitizers and hand washing facilities at the entrances, taking of one’s health and travel history, display of graphical and infographical educational messages on COVID 19 on vantage points, and temperature checks among others.
Spice News learnt that beaches, night clubs and cinemas as well as pubs remain closed as announced in the President’s recent address.
Mr Anthony Kennedy Addiaba, General Manager of the Raybow International Hotel, told Spice News that they made sure all visitors report at the Client Service Unit for their hands to be sanitized or washed before being directed to the appropriate office.
He pointed out that as part of the measures to curtail the spread of the COVID-19, it was very prudent for them to suspend all buffet dinner services till further notice.
However, he explained that the buffet breakfast and Sunday locals will be operated as take-out and alacarte style of service all patrons.
“It has become very necessary for us to put on hold our Friday Grills with live band and Raybow Groove due to the alarming increase of covid-19 cases. Whilst we apologise for all the inconveniences this might cause, we would also urge you all to continue to adhere to all the safety protocols” he divulged.
He said the hotel has dedicated an isolated place as a holding room with personal protective equipment where guests and staffs who record beyond the normal temperature with a travelling history to any of the affected countries would be housed for further interrogating.
Mr Addiaba therefore pleaded with the public to call in for any service since they have not shut down saying there is the availability of a delivery service to offices and homes.
