VEHICLE PRECAUTIONS

• As such, person to person spread is happening mainly between close contacts. These droplets are too heavy to travel far in the air; they only travel approximately one metre and quickly settle on surfaces. The exact time the virus can survive on surfaces is not yet known.
• Our driver cleans  surfaces of his van  regularly with alcohol based cleaners and disinfectants.

PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

• Hands touch many surfaces,  can be contaminated with the virus. We have liquid disinfectants in the minivan in order to clean hands frequently. Tissues used are  discarded immediately into a specific closed bin.
• The most effective way to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus is to clean your hands frequently with an alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water. This will eliminate the virus if it is on your hands.
• We are providing enough tissues to clean the surfaces in the room and restaurants.
• When you get to your room, disinfect all high-touch surfaces, such as light switches, sink faucet handles, door knobs and the remote control. Wash plates, cups or silverware before using.
• We will all wear a mask to cover face

VISITS

Open air museums will be considered to visit. The guides are extremely cautious in order to keep your distance(2 meters/6 feet) with the other people.
