_not to move the sunbeds around the pool so as not to remove the distances of 2 meters between groups
_ to use the elbow if they need to cough or sneeze and avoid touching their face
_ to flash the water in the common toilets with the lid of the bowl closed to reduce the possibility of airborne contamination
> We changed the serving policy so that common objects are not touched. Customers do not serve themselves but someone from the staff does it even during the morning breakfast. That is why we ask for the understanding and patience of our customers.
> As far as possible, we recommend using private toilets in the room instead of the common ones.
> We remind our customer the obligation to take a bath with soap and shampoo before and after using the pool, which we provide in the shared WC of the pool, but we strongly suggest the use of their private toilet in the room instead of the common ones.
