If customers have had contact with people with confirmed or suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection, we ask them to refrain from visiting our WINWIN locations. On the recommendation of the health authorities, we kindly ask guests who have travelled directly from risky areas in Italy, China and other countries over the past two weeks not to visit the WINWIN locations for safety reasons, especially if the first symptoms of flu appear.”
