Hotel Sogo rolls out approved ‘new normal’ policies in all branches
HOTEL Sogo Chief Executive Officer Reynaldo Malaca announced that the company has prepared its “new normal” policies to be implemented in all of its branches nationwide in lieu of the announcement of general community quarantine (GCQ) and modified enhance community quarantine (ECQ) in some areas of Luzon.
“With the pandemic at hand, we have adapted quickly to the changes. I’m proud to say that the company [ foresaw] and swiftly implemented these safety measures for the welfare of our employees and guests, especially the frontliners, OFWs and seafarer repatriates, who are currently staying in our hotel. We wanted them to feel secure and comfortable,” Malaca said.
As part of their “So Clean, So Good, So Safe” campaign under its Sogo So Safe Program, Hotel Sogo showcases its new normal policies via its New Normal Playbook that were sent to different agencies like the Department of Health (DoH), Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), and the Department of Tourism (DoT).
To highlight their new normal, Hotel Sogo adapted the use of Ultraviolet (UV) light, which are modified in cash registers, keycard cases, elevator buttons, and its ceiling, room door handles, as well as in food preparation for an enhanced cleaning and disinfection processes. UVC light will be also used to disinfect the room from bedsheets, cabinets, mirrors, tables, and chairs, and even in bathrooms.
Contactless doors and elevator buttons through the use of key chains, and automatic faucets and urinals will also be part of the new norm to avoid the spread of the virus in commonly touched areas.
Various medical professionals and LGUs commended Hotel Sogo as they are the first to implement these innovative safety measures in response to the House Bill 6623 “New Normal for the Workplace and Public Spaces Act”.
