After the government issues fresh guidelines for hotels and restaurants to reopen amid the coronavirus pandemic, many executives say their staff are training for the "new normal" and there will also be a separate "hygiene manager". Srijan Vadhera, general manager of Conrad Bengaluru, said their staff are undergoing training. The government on Thursday announced new rules for allowing shopping malls, restaurants, hotels and places of worship to open gradually following the nationwide COVID-19 lockdown. The guidelines, which will come into effect from Monday, include measures like staggering visitors to malls and no touching of idols at religious places.
