Last updated: 2020-01-23 10:19The government announced yesterday that the first case of Wuhan pneumonia was highly suspected. The patient entered by high-speed rail, and the patient's family had entered the Kowloon Wyatt Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui. The Hong Kong Hotel Union issued an open letter condemning Huangyue Hotel Group and Oceanwide Hotel Group for serious misjudgement of the severity of the epidemic, and for despising the needs of employees, prohibiting front-line employees from wearing masks at work, and disregarding the safety and health of employees and guests. Going to work in a safe environment is a complete violation of the duties and responsibilities as an employer.
In addition, the association quoted internal sources as saying: "Although the hotel reminded employees in writing to cleanliness, it verbally notified that frontline employees were prohibited from wearing masks at work. The hotel management did not initiate crisis management after learning that suspected patients had moved in Make immediate cleaning and even refuse to carry out thorough deep cleaning procedures at the hotel area. "
At the same time, the association criticized the Renaissance Hong Kong Hotel by name, forbidding frontline employees to wear masks to work. Renaissance Harbour View Hotel Hong Kong is a hotel under New World Development (0017). "Hong Kong 01" is inquiring about the group.
Member: If an employee wears a mask or is guessed to have received a patient
Legislative Councillor Yao Sirong said that if the hotel confirmed that it had received infected passengers, it would definitely affect the hotel business. However, the hotel can only do more disinfection at present, and let employees pay attention to personal hygiene. The staff should also observe the guests for any abnormalities. If they have a fever, they should refer them to a doctor to minimize the risk.
For individual hotel industries that do not allow employees to wear masks, Yao Sirong believes that as a service industry, employees must show smiles to their guests. If hotel employees wear masks, guests may be more sensitive, or they may guess whether the hotel will accept infected passengers. In addition, if not all hotels allow employees to wear masks, and only some hotels allow it, those hotels will face some pressure. The hotel industry will decide to take corresponding measures based on the confirmed case.
