Coronavirus Awareness, Preparedness and Response

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) continue to
monitor developments related to novel (new) coronavirus (COVID-19) first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province,
China. For more information, refer to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization, or
your local health authority resources.

The following provides information on preparedness and response with respect to each of the three response
levels. Your property will receive information regarding the appropriate level of preparation from Marriott or your
local health authority, based upon information from local and governmental health agencies that includes an
evaluation of the number of cases in a geographical area, transmission rates and confirmed cases versus the
mortality rate.

As a reminder, the symptoms of a COVID-19 are:


 Fever, historically, 100.4°F or 38°C or above
 Non-productive (dry) cough
 Muscle aches, chills and fatigue
 Runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea
