Ella explained that only a few staff members had been directly affected, so the hotel was still operational and staff were generally in good mental and physical health.

“Very few were exposed so this has not been an overall challenge. A couple have been overwhelmed and distressed and were offered counselling. Other than that we are well. It goes without saying that we are devastated by this event and send our deepest condolences to both families.”
