CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) INFORMATION FOR APPLICANTS
Please be assured that Sangam House and The Jamun are already working on sanitisation and person to person contact protocols to be enforced during the residency. Our decisions for the moment are that social distancing will be maintained, that all residents will bring a pair of house slippers and leave other footwear outside the house and that bags and other travel items will be wiped down before entering the living space. All food will be prepared at The Jamun, our housekeeper/manager who lives on the premises, and our daily cleaning person will both be wearing masks and gloves at work
and bed and bath linens will be changed on an accelerated schedule.
We are monitoring the situation daily and will change our health and safety measures
accordingly. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
