WHAT WE ARE DOING AS A COMPANY

As a vacation management firm with over 30 years hands on experience, we’ve received dozens of emails from people unsure of what they should be doing on flights, in hotel rooms and with their luggage.
 
In addition to reinforcing good hygiene practices recommended by the CDC with our team members, we have also increased the frequency of our already stringent cleaning and sanitation procedures in every department.
 
We are monitoring the situation closely and will continue to modify our processes to maintain the highest levels of cleanliness at our properties.
 
We look forward to exceeding your expectations and continuing to deliver an unsurpassed vacation experience in a warm, welcoming and safe environment.

WHAT WE KNOW RIGHT NOW

COVID-19 updates are coming quickly, experts tell us to stay calm but take precautions. From the beginning we have been told five things every traveler should do to stop the spread of COVID-19 but, as the number of cases continues to increase, we’re all looking for even more ways to travel safely rather than cancel our trips.

HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF WHILE FLYING

Wash your hands at every opportunity. If you don’t have access to soap and water, use a hand sanitizer which contains at least 60% alcohol. Avoid touching your face. And, as soon as you sit down, wipe down everything!
 
The technique of washing is important:
 
1) Wet your hands with clean running water
2) Remove them from running water or temporarily turn it off and lather them with soap by rubbing them together.
3) Soap up your hands, between your fingers and under your nails, and scrub for at least 20 seconds.
4) Then, rinse your hands well under clean running water.
5) Dry your hands using a clean towel (not a communal one) or air dry them

EXTRA PRECAUTIONARY
STEPS TO TAKE

Liberte is taking additional measures to ensure all rentals are cleaned thoroughly during this time. If you are staying in another property outside of Liberte, there are some additional steps you can take to feel more at ease. Wipe down surfaces with a disinfecting wipe and increase your hand hygiene. An extra safety precaution might be to bring your own pillowcase (which you should then pack up in a separate plastic bag and launder immediately when you get home) and disinfect light switches, alarm clocks, phones and remote controls.
 
Probably the most important thing in the room is not to drink from any of the glasses or ceramic mugs. You just have no idea when they were washed or who touched them last. When it comes to COVID-19 and other viruses that are similarly transmitted, the key is to always think first about your hands and then your face and your mouth and how something has the potential to get there.
