Hoteliers have given the Federal Government conditions for the use of their hotels as isolation centres in the treatment of COVID-19 patients.
The Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 had on Thursday said the Federal Government would require hotels and school dormitories as quarantine and isolation centres because of a shortage of hospital beds.
“I, therefore, call on activists and philanthropists to work with state governments to scale up non-pharmaceutical measures and beef up infrastructural assets for isolation and treatment in their states.” HAFTAN President, Mr Samson Aturu, said, “In collaboration with FTAN , we have had lots of discussion on this issue. Our position is that hotels can collaborate with the government because this is a matter of national interest. But the government must be ready to negotiate with hotel owners. The association does not have a direct authority on hotel owners because most hotels are owned by investors.
