GEORGE TOWN: With the rise in Covid-19 cases recently, hotels and eateries here are not taking anything for granted and have reinstated or continued with standard measures to prevent transmission of the disease during the coming holiday and festive season.

Prestige Hotel general manager Melvin Ooi said other than advising guests to be masked, his staff and personnel were still practising some of the standard measures as they anticipate a jam-packed holiday season.
