These include: the public space cannot accommodate more than one resident per 10 square metres, stagger the time the resident uses the facility to reduce their chances of contact. The hotels must also be able to channel crowds, prevent crowding, implement the SafeEntry visitor registration system, and increase the frequency of cleaning and disinfection.
