Hilton is initially working with ten medical associations to help the organisations’ more than one million members to provide access to the programme.

The programme is intended to assist healthcare workers who would otherwise had to spend their own money on accommodations.

American Express chairman and CEO Stephen Squeri said: “Our medical workers who are courageously and selflessly serving on the frontlines in the coronavirus crisis represent the best of who we are.

“We’re honoured to support this initiative with our longtime partner, Hilton, to provide the heroes in our communities a place to rest, recharge and help keep their loved ones safe during this time.”
