Important Information Regarding Coronavirus and Illness Prevention

 

To our dear Island Spa guests,

Due to the outbreak of coronavirus and a particularly harsh flu season across the globe, as a business that values the health and safety of all of our guests from the inside out, we wanted to address any concerns about our facility’s safety and reassure guests that Island Spa & Sauna is and has been taking the necessary steps to prevent the spread of disease.

Here is what we have been doing as a team to protect our guests, staff members, and community:

  • Increase the level and frequency of our cleaning schedule, with some of our housekeeping staff even staying longer to ensure ultimate cleanliness

  • Adding more hand sanitizer stations throughout the facility

  • Wipe down all furniture and soft surfaces with Virex (anti-viral solution), wipe down hard surfaces (such as tables) with Stride, and consistently mopping floors

  • Continue schedule of deep cleanings with anti-bacterials, moldicide, borax scrubs of the bathing areas including: tubs, beach chairs, shower areas and knobs, soap holders, shampoo/conditioner/body wash dispensers, and mats

  • Tubs are chemically balanced every 2 hours to prevent microorganism growth and maintain sanitary water. The state 2019 Compliance Standard is testing and balancing twice during a business day, but Island Spa & Sauna does this 9 times per business day - 4.5 times the standard.

  • Uniforms are laundered immediately after guest usage to prevent spread of germs

  • Encouraged employees (and guests) who feel sick with respiratory symptoms to stay home and see a doctor to be safe

  • Remind guests that Island Spa & Sauna has the right to refuse entry to guests who are visibly sick or have contagious skin conditions.

Here are ways that you can stay safe!

  • Avoid contact with others who may be sick

  • Avoid touching your nose, mouth and eyes

  • Stay home if you feel sick

  • Cover your sneeze or cough with a tissue, then throw it away immediately.

  • Wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds immediately after using the restroom, blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing. In the event soap and water is not immediately available, use a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol.

  • Facemasks should only be worn by those who are already showing symptoms, as they will not be effective for those who are well.

We hope that this clears up any fear or confusion - the Island team is monitoring the situation closely and we are doing our best to stay updated and educated on disease prevention! We encourage others to do this as well by using a reputable source such as the World Health Organization and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

Sincerely,

The Island Spa Family
