Unfortunately, the coronavirus isn’t going to go away overnight, but there are still ways to plan a getaway to Litchfield Beach safely. Here are some tips on how to remain safe and healthy while traveling:
  • Less pit stops the better – If planning on traveling on the road, pack food and drinks to make fewer stops.
  • Hand sanitizer – Make sure to bring along a hand sanitizer to keep on you throughout your trip. The best kind to use is at least 60% alcohol.
  • Face coverings/social distancing – Bring along face coverings to wear in public indoor areas and practice social distancing. It’s suggested to keep at least 6 feet of space between another person.
  • Disinfect – While housekeeping thoroughly cleans every room before a guest check-in, the CDC recommends disinfecting and cleaning all highly touched surfaces such as remotes, door handles, light switches, etc. upon arrival
  • Ventilation – Keep ceiling fans turned on to ensure a constant circulation of air.
  • Feel sick, stay home – The best advice we can give any guest is to not travel if he/she is experiencing any symptoms of coronavirus.
