What should I consider while traveling overnight?

There are several things to consider if you need to travel and book an overnight stay at a hotel:

• Use contact-free options for online reservation and check-in, mobile room key, and contactless payment if available
• Before you go, call and ask if all staff are required to wear a cloth face covering
• Look for extra prevention practices being used by the hotel, such as plexiglass barriers at the check-in counters and physical distancing signs in the lobby
• Ask if the hotel has updated their cleaning and disinfecting policies
• Ask for the hotel’s policy on removing and/or cleaning frequently touched items
• Wear a face covering in the lobby and other common areas
• Minimize use of areas where close contact with others is likely (e.g., break rooms, outside patios, inside lounging areas, dining areas, game rooms, pools, hot tubs, saunas, spas, salons, and fitness centers)
• If possible, use the stairs instead of the elevator
• If you need to take the elevator, wait until you can ride alone or ride only with people from your household
