YOUR FRENCH STAY – COVID-19 SAFETY CHARTER
The Covid-19 virus is still very much ‘at large’ and with the absence of effective treatment or a vaccine, we all need to be aware of what measures we can take to minimise the risk of catching the infection.
- This is a marathon, not a sprint
- We must not drop our guard
- We all need to adjust to a ‘new normal'
- Together, our actions give us the power to control the spread of the virus
To this end, we have produced this COVID-19 Safety Charter for the safety of both parties. And although not law, this best practice approach lists what we are actively implementing and the expectations from our guests too.
Through this COVID-19 Safety Charter, Your French Stay is committing to:
1. Adopting the recommendations of the French health authorities in respect of Covid-19.
2. Introducing personal protective equipment for cleaning will observe human contact of a 1.0m distance.
3. Increasing the cleaning and disinfection measures of contact points (e.g., Light switches, door handles, TV remotes etc) by adapting the cleaning-disinfection products meeting the virucidal standard EN 14 476 as indicated against Covid-19,
4. Deep cleaning and disinfecting external furniture.
5. Washing all gite laundry to the highest temperature afforded to the item as per the washing care label.
6. Deep cleaning in the dishwasher, crockery (plates, cutlery, glasses, and cups) of the accommodation according to the recommendations of the health authorities before making the accommodation available.
7. Checking the ventilation of all rooms in the accommodation before the accommodation is made available.
8. Providing guests with products to clean and disinfect during the stay which meet the standard indicated against Covid-19.
9. Restricting the supply of food items offered in the gite to only those in unopened factory-sealed packaging.
10. Rotating the Guest information folder between bookings
11. Establishing and respecting a risk management protocol in the event of suspected contagion to Covid-19.
