According to the company, Scrubbed Clean recommendations were developed in conjunction with the Asian American Hotel Owners Association (AAHOA).
The revised guidelines emphasise on cleaning and housekeeping practices and mandates disinfecting common areas at least four times in a day.
The hotel operators will provide proper PPE to all on-site workers, while housekeeping services will be carried out only at checkout or on-demand.
All the hotels will also implement social distancing protocols across premises. Hand sanitisers will be provided at all key entrances and exits.
