Ovolo Hotels recently launched its OC/DC (Obsessive Commitment to Deep Cleaning) initiative all in the name of some good clean fun. Whilst Ovolo has always been committed to providing guests with the highest possible hygiene standards, it is always looking for areas to extend this promise. From today Ovolo will be the first hotel group in Australia to make it compulsory for all front-line guest facing employees to wear masks to help to stop the spread.

It has become abundantly clear wearing of masks drastically helps in slowing the spread of COVID-19. It is important to everyone at Ovolo that guests and the team are kept safe, happy, and healthy - let’s face it, this Ovolo’s number one priority.

Additionally, Ovolo will provide OC/DC kits on request which contain useful information on Ovolo’s OC/DC initiative and how we are helping stop the spread, with a mask for those guests who need that extra reassurance.

Commenting on this bold move, Ovolo Hotels Founder & CEO Girish Jhunjhnuwala said, “We know everyone will miss the beaming smiles of our shiny, happy people, but it’s the right thing to do to. It will not be forever, but for now, we all do our bit to help stop the spread. And when it’s all over and the masks come off – we’ll share a cheeky grin again!”

Earlier this month Ovolo launched OC/DC (Obsessive Commitment to Deep Cleaning) which was developed to bring a little fun to what can be mundane and incorporate musical undertones, in true Ovolo fashion. So, whether that’s rockin’ out on temperature checks or rollin’ out the hand sanitiser, guests can fully relax knowing that there are 10 squeaky clean rules and regulations, alongside the latest addition of all employees wearing masks, which have been implemented, and that they will be in good (thoroughly washed) hands.
