Action Plan in case of Covid-19 incident.

If a visitor experiences symptoms consistent with COVID-19 infection, the following will be applied:

The doctor with whom the Hotel cooperates will be called to assess the incident.

If the patient is in urgent need of hospitalization and presents a serious clinical picture, is taken to the relevant health unit as a suspected CASE OF COVID-19. In case there is no possibility of covid-19 incident management from the health infrastructure of the area, we will arrange for transport of the patient (ECAB, water ambulance, air transport) to the nearest health unit where he can manage it.

If the patient displays a mild clinical picture, a sample is taken by the physician for laboratory COVID confirmation.

The patient with a mild clinical picture remains in his room until the results of the laboratory test are communicated.

During this wait, staff are avoided entering the patient's room if there is no significant reason. If a need occurs, a staff member of the accommodation is advised to deal exclusively with the possible case.

If the guest is confirmed as a COVID case, he will be transferred to the special quarantine hotel and later to a health facility that will accommodate patients with COVID-19 if they need hospitalization.

 If the guest is not confirmed as a CASE of COVID-19, he will be treated on site with the instructions of the attending physician.

The patient will be transported by MA (simple surgical mask) and private means of transport.

Beginning July 1, 2020, the Greek government has issued a new process concerning how the country will welcome travellers, carry out the necessary diagnostic screening and keep everyone safe throughout the season.

The Passenger Locator Form (PLF) is a key element of the process. All travellers are obliged to complete their PLF at least 48 hours before entering the country, providing detailed information on their point of departure, the duration of previous stays in other countries, and the address of your stay while in Greece.
