hygiene protocols, including standard operating procedures on social distancing enforced across
the resorts with increase contactless guest interaction; increased frequency of cleaning and
disinfection of restaurants and facilities; and use of new technologies such as electrostatic
misting sprayer, ATM testing for cleanliness and ultra-violet light technology used in cleaning of
guest rooms.

facemasks for staff and guests; guide instructions on Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) use;
