HEALTH & SANITATION PROGRAM
The health and safety of our guests and Team Members is our number one priority. Below is a summary of the protocol and steps we will be taking during this time period and our commitment to all while at the resort. Edgewood Tahoe is closely monitoring government policy changes, Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines, Federal, State, and Local government mandates, and public health advancements. We will continue to make changes as necessary or appropriate to our protocols and procedures.
FACE COVERINGS
According to Nevada state direction, individuals are no longer required to wear a face covering while in indoor public places. Face coverings will continue to be provided to guests upon request. Team Members will continue to wear appropriate personal protective equipment based on their role and responsibilities in adherence to state and local regulations.
TEAM MEMBER & GUEST HEALTH
Hand Sanitizer
Hand sanitizer dispensers will be placed at key guest and Team Member entrances and contact areas such as driveways, reception areas, hotel lobby, restaurant entrances, meeting and convention spaces, elevator landings, pool, spa/salon, and exercise area.

THE GUEST EXPERIENCE
Cleaning Products and Protocols
Our resort uses cleaning products and protocols which meet EPA guidelines and are approved for use and effective against viruses, bacteria, and other airborne and bloodborne pathogens. We are working with our vendors, distribution partners, and suppliers to ensure an uninterrupted supply of these cleaning supplies and the necessary PPE.
Public Spaces and Communal Areas
The frequency of cleaning and sanitizing has been increased in all public spaces with an emphasis on frequent contact surfaces including, but not limited to, front desk check-in counters, bell desks, elevators, and elevator buttons, door handles, public bathrooms, room keys, and locks, ATMs, stair handrails, gym equipment, dining surfaces, and seating areas.
Guest Rooms
Industry leading cleaning and sanitizing protocols are used to clean guest rooms, with particular attention paid to high-touch items including television remote controls, toilet seats and handles, door and furniture handles, water faucet handles, nightstands, telephones, in-room control panels, light switches, temperature control panels, alarm clocks, luggage racks and flooring.
Laundry
Laundry will continue to be washed at a high temperature and in accordance with CDC guidelines. Measures will be taken to eliminate excess contact during transport.
Room Recovery Protocol
In the event of a presumptive or positive case of COVID-19, the guest’s room will be removed from service and will undergo an enhanced sanitization protocol by a licensed third-party expert and approval by state or local agencies.
Air Filter and HVAC Cleaning
The frequency of air filter replacement has been increased and fresh air exchange will be maximized to the extent possible.
