(link to news article provided by FOX 13 local news)

If you do not have a mask, one will be provided to you by the resort.

Tampa Bay has always been a place of connection.

At our core, we’re about bringing people together, making them feel vibrant and alive. Out of darkness comes light—our powerful Florida sunshine that helps make this one of the best destinations in the world.

But right now, we’re asking everyone to come together by staying apart.

IMPORTANT

Local businesses, including Liberte Management properties, require face masks while indoors.

Exceptions to the order include:

The mandate cannot conflict with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
It does not apply if a person is strictly adhering to social distancing and there are 10 or fewer people in the location who are also maintaining social distancing.
It does not apply to governmental entities such as schools, courthouses or city halls, although those entities are encouraged to develop procedures to protect employees and the public.
If a person is under age 18, that person’s use of a face covering is left to the discretion of that person’s parent, guardian or an accompanying adult.
Religious rituals such as various forms of singing are permitted provided that social distancing is strictly maintained.
Exercising while social distancing, such as in a gym, is permitted without a face covering.

If you do not have a mask, one will be provided to you by the resort.

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.

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.
