As the sanatorium of the Caucasian Mineral Waters take the first tourists after the abolition of quarantine.
every year the sanatorium of the Caucasian Mineral Waters host about a million tourists. High season usually starts in April-may. But this year due pandemic resort life was suspended for a while. Officially, the regime of self-isolation for spas with medical license was cancelled on 1 June. However, due strict requirements to return to work since the beginning of summer are only some of the resorts. And many Russians, for fear of the virus, the resorts do not hurry.
Learned, how does a Spa holiday in a pandemic and how to protect patients from the virus.
In late may, the CPS released a list of requirements for spas that need to be done before opening. To comply with the terms until all time. In Kislovodsk among the first opened a sanatorium “Healing Narzan”.
— the first day we arrived, only three people, today we rest for 25 tourists. In General, the sanatorium has a capacity of 280 guests, — says General Director Anzor Dokhov. — Security requirements are many. first, the tourists are required to have negative test results for Covid-19, and obtained they must be not later than two days prior to the departure date. secondly, they must be fresh certificate of epidokruzhenii — that is, that they had no contact with anyone from the infected. The sanatorium staff also undergo mandatory testing for the coronavirus before to take to work.
under the new rules the resort has their own to arrange for a tourist Shuttle from the airport. When this transport need to pre-process all recommendations. At the Spa the staff were obliged to wear masks and gloves, and reception desks, bars and cafés are equipped with protective screens.
In the hallways, dining rooms and other crowded places have established air recyclers on the floor struck a remote layout. Several times a day to tourists measure the temperature in the rooms daily refilled masks and antiseptics.
According to Duhova, no procedure, not even the group in “Healing Narzan” is not canceled. As holidaymakers ten times smaller than usual, even the pool was able to separate. The pool water is constantly being updated, the surfaces are disinfected.
However, despite the stringent measures, refusals of permits still a lot.
In Essentuki among the first to stepped up anti-epidemic measures in the sanatorium “Victoria” “Shakhtar” — despite high costs and weak tourist flow.
— Our resort has 103 kinds of the licensed activity, — the Director of bazavovclinical sanatorium “Victoria” Nina Grinko. — We were ready to open June 1, waiting 60 patients. But, unfortunately, the requirements are so complex and not always feasible for our holidaymakers, many of them from trips refused.
it employs about a thousand workers. While there were no layoffs, but half the staff were sent on a forced vacation. For downtime at the resort renovated balneological Department, hall, medical building, conference hall and canteen. The territory of 22 hectares was maintained in a proper manner. To open in all buildings of the “Victoria” also struck a remote markup hung up signs with a reminder of the rules of distancing.
We told all the tourists, where the mask and gloves we have on all visible parts ultraviolet irradiators, says Grinko. — We also changed the menu, added more thermally processed products. But still holidaymakers holding back the need to provide a certificate and a large coefficient of zarahemla in our region. Will improve as soon as epigastrica, I think people will go. They already missed our resorts. Because some come to maintain the health of not one or two times a year. There are regular customers.
of Course, the tourists in the Philippines also want to be treated, but the walk in the Park, to go on trips and museums. But as long as walking is allowed only on the territory of the sanatorium.
— Our tourists will be able to drink mineral water in the famous five thousand meters, the largest drinking gallery Kavminvod, because it is in our territory, — says Grinko. — But other resorts we put the water in special tanks. And in General, to increase immunity, you can not go beyond the sanatorium. Its natural factors — mud and mineral water — we can restore our compatriots after stress, which we all had to endure. We do almost all procedures, excluding speleochamber and pool. Popular mineral baths and mud wraps we do in separate rooms, after which each patient handled by the disinfecting solution.
Almost all of the procedures will continue in Essentuki sanatorium “Shakhtar”. The exception is underwater spine traction and endoscopy.
the First tourist in Essentuki Irina Safonova his ticket bought even in the winter. Treatment was scheduled for 1 June. But, arriving from Khabarovsk, we had a week to rent a flat and urgently to make the necessary inquiries. But now the woman was placed in a private room. Yes, and was met upon arrival by a dear guest — with music and flowers.
— the time came when I had to think about the eternal, about ZD��attended. And now two years in a row, I rest in the sanatorium “Shakhtar”, — says the woman. — My current environment is not scared. Bold always go forward. The most difficult condition is not to leave the territory. Because you used to be able to move, to walk, to unload. Now limited space — how not to gain pounds. But I’m not going to have fun, and to be treated. You can be patient.
Your three-week vacation Irina may extend. Says Essentuki like her its tranquility and fresh air.
Also among the first tourists Mr Idragon from Yekaterinburg. On the Caucasian mineral waters, he is resting for many years. His ticket booked for April 1. But the rest had to endure on June 1. Limitations it does not confuse.
— mineral water will carry over here, this is important! — smiling man.
on the Caucasian mineral waters more than a hundred resorts. By 10 June the doors opened to less than 10. In total vouchers in different cities of KMV are now resting 270 people.
However, the owners of the resorts are optimistic they look forward to the lifting of the isolation regime, which in the Stavropol region was extended to June 14. And we are sure that after this, their work will resume in full.
— given the closure, I think once will cancel the isolation, open parks, restaurants and cafes, all quickly restored, — tells Anzor Dokhov. — Today I read in the news that the Association of tour operators of Russia expects prices to increase by 30% for domestic tourism. But I do not share this view. I think prices will remain the same.
