How we deal with a guest or employee showing symptoms of Covid-19
There are no rules if a hotel guest becomes ill on the premises. However, we have received some advice from the joint Danish authorities’ hotline.

Guest:
If a guest experiences symptoms of Covid-19 during their stay, we urge that the guest isolates themself in their room and telephones a doctor and takes a test. The guest must isolate themself in their room until the test result is available.
The guest must stay away from common areas if there is suspicion that the guest is infected with Covid-19.
If the guest tests positive, they must leave the premises as soon as possible and isolate themself in their room until they can leave.
Since it can take up to 72 hours to get the test result, the host can, in consultation with the guest, assess whether the guest should check out.
If a guest has been ill on the premises, disinfect the room and replace the duvet and pillows.
If in doubt – please contact the joint Danish authorities’ hotline on +45 70 20 02 33.
 
 
Employee:
If there are any suspected symptoms, even mild symptoms, the employee must not come to work, and if symptoms appear after arriving at work, the person must immediately leave the workplace.
If the employee has symptoms, they must stay at home until they have had no symptoms for 48 hours or tested negative, then work can be resumed.
In the event of infection, the ill person and the doctor in charge of treatment (possibly with the assistance of the contact tracking hotline) are required to identify close contacts, in accordance with the Danish Health Authority’s publication COVID-19: Til dig, der er en nær kontakt til en person, der er smittet med ny coronavirus.
