1 Covid -19 Protocols in Vallnord - Pal Arinsal:

2 General measures

3 Ski lifts

4 Restaurant

5 Ski Nursery and snow garden

6 Ski school and Snowplus

7 Other Activities

8 INTERNAL ACTION MEASURES

Vallnord - Pal Arinsal has already defined the prevention measures against COVID-19 , measures that are expected to be adapted during the days. Most of them have already been applied during the summer season, in which the fact that they have not suffered any infection stands out. Last season allowed us to learn from the situation, listen to the concerns of the customers and prepare to offer a winter with the maximum possible guarantees.

Currently Andorra is one of the countries with the highest global ratio of PCR tests performed per person. Likewise, all the protocol measures carried out in public spaces such as restaurants, shops and other centres, show the great effort of the country in containing the outbreak. These measures are also applied in ski resorts, which come together to establish common protocols, but at the same time, work is being done on customizing and adapting the most convenient for each one of them.

As measures to be highlighted, Vallnord - Pal Arinsal has opted for the placement of Hexis Pure Zone anti-microbial vinyls on contact surfaces such as tables, chairs, windows, doorknobs, cabins, etc. that do not allow the appearance and development of bacteria and viruses. The cleaning service has been strengthened to make it constant throughout the day in common areas of customer service, merchandising, restaurants and offices.

Finally, a 95% reduction in the printing of physical plans has been chosen to avoid the physical transmission of paper, while promoting the use of the resort's APP. In this sense, work is being done to offer customers updated data regarding the percentage of employment in restaurants, as well as the possibility of booking these spaces to avoid any type of queue in the premises.

So far, all jobs have been maintained with the aim of continuing to offer the best guarantees as well as having the versatility of all workers in carrying out any task that is not typical of their job. Other measures have also been taken, in the orbit of sustainable development, which will make it possible to reduce the amount of operating costs for the resort, especially energy, and adjust the budget to the reality of the moment.
