Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Outbreak

The Hotel Association of Canada is monitoring developments around COVID-19 closely and is working in partnership with Public Health to bring you the latest developments.

What has become clear over the past few weeks is that the situation is evolving daily and having a significant impact on our industry.

Understanding that our hotels in Canada are seeking the latest data and guidelines to support hotel operations during an outbreak like COVID 19, the Hotel Association of Canada has aggregated some of the best data available and will be updating materials regularly during this period.

We applaud the industry for its continued commitment to health and safety protocols, and excellence in hospitality.
