Social distancing and other health safety measures

Since the family and their visitors are technically not close enough to transmit the virus, the baby cabin follows the social distancing protocols.

In terms of other health safety measures, the baby cabin is cleaned thoroughly by the company. That is to ensure that the coronavirus will not be transmitted to the next families that will also use the baby cabin.
