Travel: Quarantine
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to ensure that quarantine hotels are safe environments.
- Answer
-
To ensure all our managed quarantine hotels are safe environments, we have standard operating procedures (SOPs), testing processes and infection prevention control processes for staff and guests. Each hotel has dedicated Departmental on-site liaison officers who monitor compliance with the SOPs and report on compliance issues, breaches, opportunities to improve services including health and safety breaches.
Directors of Public Health for each area where the hotels are situated are engaged and consulted as to the infection protection measures implemented. The local environmental health teams often visit to ensure the hotels are safe environments for both guests and staff. Any identified breaches are reported back to senior sub-contracted management to ensure rectification measures are put in place.
