Let’s say hypothetically you’ve got a bad case of covid & strep throat so you check into a hotel for a week to quarantine away from friends & family, at any point do you notify hotel staff of your illness? Or would you rather lay low, ashamed, not mention it, hoping/assuming they clean the room as well as possible after you leave. Knowing there’s a possibility the housekeeper and anyone nearby may catch this bug??
Yes, absolutely. You don’t have to make a big deal about it while you’re there, just tell the maids not to enter when they knock. No need for a big caution sign or anything. Be as discreet as you feel necessary, but at least be cautious to not spread it.
If you didn’t pack enough food, order contactless delivery (some places won’t go past the lobby though, so you may need to explain to receptionists in that case, they can have a maid leave it by your door).
Even if you don’t end up explaining during your stay, be sure to tell them when you leave that your room might be contagious, so they can take precautions when cleaning. You don’t want them to get sick either.
