Dear Maje: HOTEL SOGO UNLOCKS THE NEW NORMAL

Hotel Sogo unlocks the new normal

Hi Dear,

This is the last day of ECQ or Enhance Community Quarantine (as of writing this) how are you feeling? I hope you are doing fine, I'd been doing a lot of videos, binge watching some Korean Dramas, reading books lately, aside from doing my work at home I rarely went outside because it's scorching hot and I don't have QPass (hahaha) I guess these were my new normal.

Speaking of new normal, the last time we've talked about Hotel Sogo was when they are being not just so clean, so good but also so generous by providing shelters for our frontliners (let's give them around of applause to that!) but aside form that they are now leaping to the new normal as part of their So clean, So Good, So Safe campaign under the Sogo Safe Program that aims to secure the safety of its employees and guests.

Now let's talk about that.

Hotel Sogo launches the features of their new normal

For Hotel here are their innovative ways to fight Covid 19.

Uniforms of hotel staff are redesigned to incorporate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

Temperature screening and disinfection mats upon entering the hotel.

Social distancing in front desk.

Installation of protective acrylic glass panel in front desk.

Social distancing with markers and limit of persons in elevators.
Hand Sanitizers in common areas.
Contactless hotel features (doors and elevators).

UVC light treatment is also modified in elevator consoles, door handles, keycard cases, cash register and food preparation.

Good job to this one because for those of you who don't know studies show that the use of UVC, with wavelengths between 200 and 270 nanometre (nm), can kill microbes, germs, bacteria and viruses. This has been adopted since use of UVC is done in recent years and is also used in disinfecting hospitals as UVC kills pathogens and microorganisms. In addition, I've seen a lot of videos about how will you know that your Hotel room is clean (I know it may sound weird but nope I'm not OC I'm just curious) and one of it was to place it under UV Light because you can detect all the germs when it was place under UV Light and I'm glad that Hotel Sogo did this because you can sleep peacefully knowing that your room was germ free.

Constant disinfection in all amenities is also implemented.

No-contact facilities from lobby doors to toilet fixtures thru installing foot door opener and foot-controlled dispenser.

Hotel Sogo Mobile app is also up for contact tracing.

Hotel Sogo has created newly designed giveaways for the guests such as no contact keys and sanitizers. No-contact key serves as a tool in touching common objects like door handles, elevator buttons, and ATMs.
