(TAN): Beginning July 27, all Hyatt hotels in the US and Canada will require face coverings within indoor public areas, which include meetings and events spaces, restaurants and bars, and fitness centers, the hotel group said.
Some guests may be exempt from this mandate, such as people with medical conditions, consuming food or beverages in restaurants, and children under the age of two years.

Guests who are not wearing face coverings indoors will be asked to wear one, and at all Hyatt hotels, face masks will be made available to guests who do not have one. Additionally, Hyatt hotels request all guests practice proper social distancing in indoor and outdoor public areas, and social distancing guidelines are prominently placed throughout all hotels.
Hyatt will continue to require staff to wear face masks — and additional personal protective equipment based on job specifications — at all Hyatt hotels globally. In April, Hyatt introduced the Global Care & Cleanliness Commitment which prioritizes the safety and wellbeing of colleagues and guests through enhanced business and operational practices during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond at all Hyatt hotels globally.
