Abstract
The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly impacted the accommodation sector and hotel industries. As the process of relaxation of public health and social measures has begun in the different parts of the world, it is a mandatory requirement to strictly adhere to the standard protocol. The first and foremost requirement is to constitute a team, which together formulates an action plan and strategies to reduce the probability of acquisition or transmission of infection in hotel settings. This team should develop liaisons with the local public health authorities, tourism, catering, and other stakeholders. In conclusion, because hotels remain a potential ground for the acquisition and spread of infection, there is an immense need to strengthen infection prevention and control measures to ensure the safety of staff as well as guests.

COVID-19 enfeksiyonundan otellerde misafirlerin ve personelin güvenliğini sağlamak: Dünya Sağlık Örgütü
Abstract
Koronavirüs hastalığı-2019 (COVID-19) salgını, konaklama sektörünü ve otel endüstrilerini önemli ölçüde etkiledi. Halk sağlığının ve sosyal önlemlerin gevşetilmesi süreci dünyanın farklı yerlerinde başladığından, standart protokole sıkı sıkıya bağlı kalmak zorunlu bir gerekliliktir. İlk ve en önemli gereklilik, otel ortamlarında enfeksiyon kapma veya bulaşma olasılığını azaltmak için birlikte bir eylem planı ve stratejiler oluşturan bir ekip oluşturmaktır. Bu ekip, yerel halk sağlığı yetkilileri, turizm, yiyecek-içecek hizmetleri ve diğer paydaşlarla bağlantı kurmalıdır. Sonuç olarak, otellerin enfeksiyon kapması ve yayılması için potansiyel bir zemin olmaya devam ettiği gerçeği dikkate alındığında, saatin ihtiyacı, personelin ve misafirlerin güvenliğini sağlamak için enfeksiyon önleme ve kontrol önlemlerini güçlendirmektir.
