A Nigerian online hotel booking agency, Hotels.ng has partnered with 10 hotels nationwide to provide self-isolation centers for Nigerians who may be infected with the coronavirus.
This disclosure was made by the Chief Executive Officer, Mark Essien.
He advised Nigerians who may be worried that they have the virus or are already diagnosed with the virus to book the hotels in case they want to self-isolate, and not pass it down to their family. He noted that the hotels were available for the two-week NCDC approved self-quarantine period.
He added that the hotels will be providing proper self-isolation protocols, full room-service and access to doctors as added perks.
The hotels are providing proper self-isolation protocols, full room-service and have contact to doctors. Do DM me for more details.
