Because Honu Cove is “pet friendly,” we are required to provide you with the following CDC guidance regarding COVID-19 and animals:

Key Points

• We do not know the exact source of the current outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), but we know that it originally came from an animal source.

• At this time, there is no evidence that animals play a significant role in spreading the virus that causes COVID-19.

• Based on the limited information available to date, the risk of animals spreading COVID-19 to people is considered to be low.

• We are still learning about this virus, but it appears that it can spread from people to animals in some situations.

What we are doing to mitigate transmission of COVID-19:

The following procedures are in place and executed by staff.

• Employee work assignments, and guest records are maintained for an extended period of time (at least 90 days)  to enable contact tracing.

• Dirty linens are bagged in guest rooms to eliminate unnecessary contact. 

• Laundry is washed in accordance with CDC guidelines.

• All Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) sanitation guidelines are followed, including Florida Administrative Code Section 61C-3.001, Sanitation and Safety Requirements. 

• High-touch front services spaces and equipment, including keys, property management systems, bell desks, luggage storerooms, luggage belts, bell carts, etc., are sanitized frequently and no less than hourly. 

• HVAC air filters are cleaned or replaced weekly to maximize clean air. 

• Sanitation and safety efforts comply with Emergency Order 20-12, Attachment 1. 

• Guest rooms are deep cleaned after guest check-out in accordance with the CDC-recommended cleaning procedures.

• Staff wear facial coverings and gloves when cleaning.

• After a room has been cleaned, guest rooms may not be entered by any person until the next guest arrives. 

• A card that explains the heightened cleaning procedures is placed in every guest room, particularly related to high-touch areas, when possible. 

• For the duration of the guest stay, guest room housekeeping is limited to trash removal, and towel and amenities restocking. 

• The number of amenity items provided in the guest room (e.g., coffee stations, extra pillows, pens, robes, single-serve beverages) is limited. These amenities are either available upon request, or eliminated completely to reduce the number of touch points and cleaning/sanitation demands of the room.
