10:10:55 From Wendy Perera IWC : contact details for the team: eh@iow.gov.uk 10:11:39 From Cliff Hall Hotel : Hello. Contact and web link to business regulations please. 10:12:31 From Wendy Perera IWC : There is information on regulatory services that will be shared on visitwight.pro after this session 10:14:00 From Simon Clark : Please visit this page for the session videos, presentations and relevant links https://visitwightpro.com/2020/06/26/visit-isle-of-wight-isle-of-wight-council-industry-information-sessions/ 10:17:11 From Wendy Perera IWC : All of the information on signage will be shared via the visitwight.pro site. 10:23:35 From 82337851409 : Will we need down time between hotel room departures and the next arrival ? 10:24:39 From Simon Clark : As part of your risk assessment, you should demonstrate proper cleaning between guests, with the time allowed 10:24:58 From Simon Clark : It will add extra confidence for guests too! 10:25:12 From Andrew Royal Hotel Ventnor : How do we advise the ferry companies if we have had a guest contract COVID 19 and they need to get back to the mainland 10:25:26 From Simon Clark : Wendy is just about to explain! 10:28:26 From Carlo V : Do honesty bars need to be closed? 10:30:25 From Carlo V : If a guest tested positive would we need to go into isolation, so would need to close the hotel? 10:31:34 From Simon Clark : There will be a Q&A at the end of the presentations - these are great questions, please feel free to ask them then! 10:37:01 From Simon Clark : We're Good To Go - https://goodtogo.visitbritain.com/ 10:37:36 From Wendy Perera IWC : RE closing accommodation if a guest tests positive. If a single case then it would need to be managed by the guest isolating and arranging a test or isolating until returning home. An outbreak will be managed in a different way and we will be arranging specific sessions on this issue. 10:37:37 From Simon Clark : To find out more about Know Before You Go - https://www.visitbritain.org/know-before-you-go-get-involved-our-campaign 10:38:13 From Wendy Perera IWC : Hopefully I answered the question about ferries, info will be provided on the sheet that we are preparing for sharing with your guests. 10:39:32 From Amanda Gregory IWC : There is specific guidance about cleaning protocols after a guest has tested positive. If you have 2 or more cases in your premises it would be classed as an outbreak and you would need to notify local PHE or Environmental Health, we will then provide specific advice. 10:39:51 From The Sandhill : In the event of a guest having to self isolate, who pays for that time spent if it is over and above the duration of the stay, and the knock-on cost if subsequent bookings are impacted? 10:42:36 From Wendy Perera IWC : Re isolating and knock on impacts, you may like to consider how you reflect this sort of issue in your terms and conditions and also check with your insurers for any advice as well. If guests are nearly at the end of their stay there is nothing preventing them from returning without having had a test and therefore leaving either slightly early or on time. 10:43:46 From Simon Clark : Download your marketing material - video and images to add to your website and share on your social media https://visitwightpro.com/2020/06/09/the-island-is-waiting-new-marketing-material/ 10:45:04 From Andrew Royal Hotel Ventnor : can you confirm that tables in restaurants are confined to 2 households we get two or three generations of families booking for a holiday but they would be more than two households 10:50:40 From Amanda Gregory IWC : The guidance is: limit social interactions to two households (your support bubble counts as one household) in any location; or, if outdoors, potentially up to six people from different households. It will be against the law for gatherings of more than 30 people to take place. Premises or locations which are COVID-19 Secure will be able to hold more than 30 people, subject to their own capacity limits, although any individual groups should not interact with anyone outside of the group they are attending the venue with - so in a group no larger than two households or six people if outdoors. 10:51:30 From James Potter IWC : Re the self isolation and knock on costs question asked. To add on from what Wendy advised, ensure your terms and conditions are bold and compelling to cover this issue and advise that the consumer should have adequate travel insurance to cover this eventuality to compensate them for possible additional costs they may have to pay to you if they need to stay longer. Each scenario is different so contact Trading Standards for specific advice. (trading.standards@iow.gov.uk) 10:52:49 From Carlo V : Apart from masks should staff wear ppe? 10:53:17 From rachel briscoe : Honesty Bar question will need to be considered as a part of your risk assessment and the level of the facilities offered. Guidance advises that shared facilities should remain closed. The guidelines are flexible and allow for different approaches, not prescriptive controls of solutions. Need to think about the transmission and hand contact surfaces are a risk area that give the virus an opportunity to spread so needs to be considered. 10:55:56 From Cliff Hall Hotel : If a guest or staff have symptoms do all staff have to self isolate? Will this close business down for 2 weeks or until test comes back negative? If positive would we all have to isolate if contact may have happened - again will this close business? what happens to guests if businesses are closed? 10:56:14 From Waverley Pub : will you have a template risk assessment for hotel room cleaning we can use and add to to suit our own business 10:57:13 From Waverley Pub : sorry a completed example 10:58:25 From rachel briscoe : Waverley Pub https://www.ukhospitality.org.uk/page/UKHospitalityGuidanceforHospitality annex 1 has a template and guidance 10:58:48 From Carlo V : Is it generally a good idea to not clean rooms on stay throughs? 10:59:11 From Andrew Royal Hotel Ventnor : How long does Covid remain active on paper, we are looking to prepare bills the night before and place them under the door of the departures and we produce hotel lists for departments in the hotel if we prepare the night before can we distribute the next morning 11:00:14 From Simon Clark : Carlo V - consider it as part of your risk assessment and communicate with your guests - they might prefer you don't. 11:01:42 From Simon Clark : To Royal Hotel - the advice is to minimise all chances of cross contamination through paper - perhaps using online billing rather than printed bills 11:03:09 From Carlo V : Pools are closed but I have seen that outside pools may be ok? 11:04:22 From James Potter IWC : There are differences between a 'face covering' and a 'face mask'. Face coverings don't offer any PPE properties. The safety bulletin from the HSE about the use of 'KN95' masks not being used as PPE for work can be found here: https://www.hse.gov.uk/safetybulletins/use-of-face-masks-designated-kn95.htm?utm_source=govdelivery&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=kn95-safety-alert&utm_content=intro 11:04:23 From Lee Morey Sands Hotel Sandown : can i please ask a couple of questions re coach guests and also regarding entertainment in Bar lounges 11:10:47 From Cliff Hall Hotel : Is there specific guidance on breakfast service-can we offer a buffet service with 2metre distancing or will it all have to be table service for everything? 11:13:06 From Carlo V : Can I add to breakfast question, can plates be carried by hand 11:17:21 From Waverley Pub : what about outside music ? - i.e. garden 11:17:32 From John Elford : Care homes often invite another manager from another care home to do a risk assessment . We could perhaps do this with our industry. 11:17:59 From 82337851409 : Is there a particular format for Risk Assessment, or is it ok for all the details to be formatted using your own templates ? 11:19:24 From Wendy Perera IWC : Thank you so much everyone for joining us this morning. You have the contact details for the team and my contact details are: wendy.perera@iow.gov.uk 11:19:44 From Simon Clark : Here is the link for the presentations - documentation links are on there too https://visitwightpro.com/2020/06/26/visit-isle-of-wight-isle-of-wight-council-industry-information-sessions/ 11:19:55 From 82337851409 : Thankyou for this morning...very informative 11:19:58 From Cliff Hall Hotel : Thank you to everyone and best wishes to all. 11:20:23 From Simon Clark : Thank you for attending! 11:20:43 From Lee Morey Sands Hotel Sandown : Thank you for enabling this meeting, hopefully everyone will have a safe and prosperous opening and continued trade. 11:20:49 From Amanda Gregory IWC : Thank you
