Since the start of the pandemic, we’ve all seen a change in the hospitality community. Both guests and hoteliers are more worried than ever about safety. This shared concern will likely impact the industry for years to come. As a [New York State Essential Business](https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/publications/Version_3.0_CISA_Guidance_on_Essential_Critical_Infrastructure_Workers_1.pdf) and a hotel furniture manufacturer in the USA, here’s how we feel your manufacturer should support you in protecting guest health and safety. ## A Hospitality Furniture Manufacturers’ New Normal Let’s start by first understanding how coronavirus is spread. According to the CDC: *“...transmission of SARS-CoV-2 to persons from surfaces contaminated with the virus has not been documented. **Transmission of coronavirus occurs much more commonly through respiratory droplets than through objects and surfaces, like doorknobs, countertops, keyboards, toys, etc.** Current evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 may remain viable for hours to days on surfaces made from a variety of materials. Cleaning of visibly dirty surfaces followed by disinfection is a best practice measure for prevention of COVID-19 and other viral respiratory illnesses in community settings.”* Hotel industry casegoods suppliers must understand the role their products have in keeping your guests and staff safe. Casegood products are some of the few material items that have decades-long longevity within your hotel. Hospitality casegoods have some of the highest-volume touchpoints. That’s why Artone supplies you with** proper instructions for cleanliness and maintenance for standard wear-and-tear.** ### Protecting Our Employees, Customers & Community Preventing the spread of COVID-19 starts with us.** Artone has taken additional measures to confirm our facility meets (or exceeds) current health regulations.** Each day, **our team members are required to read and acknowledge by signature a “COVID-19 Healthy Screening Assessment Questionnaire.”** This document outlines coronavirus symptoms and what team members should do if they start experiencing them.   We have also **hired additional staff to sanitize surfaces throughout our offices and manufacturing facility** that are frequently touched, such as: - Doorknobs - Handrails - Bathroom fixtures In addition, **we have reinforced hygiene and exposure guidelines with our employees.** If we become aware an employee is ill or potentially exposed others to COVID-19, we immediately implement isolation and sanitization protocols, as well as begin necessary quarantines based on guidance from local health officials. ### Research & Education Before your casegoods leave our facility in Jamestown, NY, our team has done everything to ensure they meet health and safety standards.
