Don't hotels in Shanghai check the negative certificate of nucleic acid test?

With the optimization and adjustment of epidemic prevention and control measures in hotels in Shanghai, the negative certificate of nucleic acid test and the "personal code" of residents are no longer checked, and some residents infected with Omicron choose to stay in hotels for "isolation", leaving a safe space for their families. However, many guests did not take the initiative to inform their health status, which increased the risk of infection among hotel employees. In this regard, the industry calls on active guests to take the initiative to inform the health status to ensure the safety of hotel employees.

"Last week, a colleague in the office diagnosed COVID-19. A day later, my throat began to feel uncomfortable. Considering that there are children and two old people at home, I intend to isolate myself from the outside. " Ms. Wang, who lives in Beicai Town, Pudong, told reporters that there is an all-season hotel opposite their community. She booked a room directly after work that day and checked in smoothly. The next day, Ms. Wang's self-test antigen showed two bars.

Ms. Wang stayed in the hotel for five days. She found that there were many positive patients in the hotel. For example, on the day of check-in, she heard someone coughing in the lobby; In addition, among the owners, some neighbors shared their experiences of closing down due to illness in this hotel.

The reporter also learned that hotels near many hospitals in Shanghai have recently admitted positive patients. "Some patients are infected in the ward. In order not to affect the safety of other patients and their families, they moved to the hotel next to the hospital for isolation, and then returned to the ward for treatment after turning negative. " A hospital-related manager revealed. This statement has also been confirmed by the hotel. The manager of a hotel next to a well-known third-class first-class hospital said that more than 50% of their hotels came to Shanghai for medical treatment. The "grim situation" in the store now is a great test for all employees.

"Children at home", "only one bathroom" and "living with the elderly who have basic diseases" are the reasons why most positive patients choose hotel isolation. "Instead of wearing a mask at home, it is better to be free in the hotel and have less psychological pressure." One interviewee said frankly. And their choice is also concentrated in the chain hotels with good reputation, because these hotels are "easy to live and not expensive".

In this regard, the hotel said that according to the relevant requirements, they will not refuse positive patients, but they do face greater pressure on epidemic prevention and control. "Recently, the employee infection situation is more serious and the front desk is understaffed." A person in charge of a hotel group in Qingpu revealed.

"Although we don't check the code, we still hope that guests can take the initiative to inform us to avoid frequent access by employees." An employee of Zhu Hua Group said.

In view of the "anti-yang" behavior of hotel guests, some hotels reduce the infection risk of employees by optimizing the check-in process, improving disinfection standards and enabling robots. For example, Zhu Hua Group has carried out as many as 36 cleaning steps and 6 special disinfection measures for guest rooms, allowing robots to go to the site for emergency treatment, and complete the distribution requirements through contactless service.

Liu Deyan, an associate professor at the School of Tourism of Shanghai Normal University, said that at present, the proportion of positive infections is increasing, and it is inevitable that hotel employees will face risks. To ensure the safety of hotel employees, we should start from two aspects: first, we should appeal to guests to actively and frankly inform their health status and reduce room service; Second, hotels should be more carefully disinfected to provide a safe accommodation environment for guests and employees.
