PLEASE NOTE THAT – AS STATED BY ITALIAN AUTHORITIES – PEOPLE ACCESSING TO THE CONGRESS VENUE AND STAYING IN THE CONGRESS SPACES MUST WEAR AN FFP2 MASK
Gruppo UNA has adopted the following protocols to combat the virus and reduce the risk of infection by protecting themselves and others. It means following key hygiene rules, supporting the implementation of isolation and quarantine measures in the case that the disease spreads, and following international and national health authority indications.
In addition to regular and occasional activities (environment and equipment cleaning and maintenance, breakdowns, system reactivation, etc.), that follow guidelines from the World Health Organization, the Italian Ministry of Health, the Higher Institute of Healthcare and the national “Safe Hospitality” protocol by Federalberghi, the Italian Association of Confindustria Hotels and Asshotel (associations that mainly represent national tourism companies), Gruppo UNA has also decided to set out its own procedures and verify their implementation.

MASK WEARING
Guests are required to wear a protective mask for all the time spent inside congress and hotel areas.
ENHANCED CLEANING
Cleaning and sanitization of the meeting venue in compliance with the legal requirements.
Sanitization of all devices and equipment available to Speakers, Moderators and Auditors (e.g., microphones, keyboards, mice, laser pointers, etc.) before use.
Regular cleaning and sanitisation of the rooms, carried out at the end of every Guest activity, with particular attention given to the most frequently touched surfaces, toilets, and common areas (e.g., refreshment areas, keyboards of vending machines for drinks and snacks).
Unless the weather conditions or other urgent situations do not permit it, doors and windows must be left open in order to ventilate indoor areas naturally.
PERSONAL HYGIENE
Hand hygiene products will be available in several areas of the hotel (e.g., rooms, classrooms, toilets, etc.) for frequent use. The availability of sanitizing gel is guaranteed at the entrance and exit of the conference venue. We kindly invite guests to sanitize hands frequently.
SOCIAL DISTANCE
Respect for social distancing, even in activities relating to events and conferences, participants must be at least 1 meter apart from each other. Conferences spaces and services will be organized based on this measure. Activity areas are organized so that social distancing of 1 meter can be maintained between users (may be extended to at least 2 meters depending on the epidemiological risk situation) The teacher’s workstation must be positioned at least two meters from the first row of participants.
DIGITAL SERVICES
To reduce the interaction with the staff, both the hotel and the IWHL team will employ a system that facilitates non-contact registration and check-in and out for participants, including the availability of online registration.
FOOD AND BEVERAGE STATIONS
The IWLH team will work closely with the UNA HOTEL (GRUPPO UNA) to employ the highest standard of food safety:
- Placemats on every table will ensure social distancing as outlined in current legislation
- The Buffet is however present with a layout that guarantees maximum hygiene of all the foods on display, with plexiglass dividers, protective bells and limited access to staff only
- Single-portion items and/or packaged are preferred over bulk items
- Sneeze guards or cloches are used to cover the food and protect items on display.
- Between dinners, each table will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized with authorized chemicals as well as the equipment used.
