Leisure condominium developer Vista Residences, Inc. has worked with Globalland Property Management, Inc. to develop an extensive health and safety protocol to ensure the well-being of their community.
“Our residents, tenants, and employees’ health and safety are our utmost priority. We didn’t hesitate to tap into the expertise of Globalland Property Management to assist us in crafting and implementing precautionary measures to decrease the risk of disease transmission,” said Elizabeth M. Kalaw, chief operating officer of Vista Residences, in a statement.
The health and safety protocol comes as condo dwellers living in buildings with shared facilities and compact spaces face health challenges as the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to sicken thousands of people worldwide,
Vista Residences, the vertical development arm of Vista Land & Lifescapes, Inc., said it is strictly observing physical and social distancing protocols as recommended by the Department of Health and the World Health Organization.
Vista Residences said its new guidelines on elevator etiquette call for a maximum of four people who can take the lift at a time to avoid overcrowding. It said markers had been put in place to serve as guides for those lining up for the elevator. Also, elevator buttons are covered with plastics that are regularly disinfected and sanitized.
“Sanitation and maintenance have always been a matter of great importance for Vista Residences, more so now than ever,” it said. “Hand sanitizers and alcohol dispensers can be found on the counter by the entrance. Globalland Property Management is on top of making sure that the building is cleaned and sanitized at all times.”
Louie G. Guillarte, operations head of Globalland Property, said: “Our maintenance team conduct a thorough and frequent cleaning and disinfection of the building premises every hour. We also make sure that our custodial staff are well-equipped and protected with masks and gloves to ensure their safety.”
For new tenants, move-ins, visitors and guests, a health declaration form must be filled out and a health certificate or quarantine clearance issued by the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases (IATF) may even be submitted if the conditions apply.
Another best practice that’s being exercised in all Vista Residences properties is the “no mask, no entry” policy.
Everyone entering the building will also undergo a mandatory alcohol spraying and thermal scanning for temperature check. Guests who show signs or symptoms of cold, flu or the like will not be allowed entry.
