Dear NX LONDON Hostel Guests,
As we face the difficult challenge of responding to the coronavirus (COVID-19), which the World Health Organization declared a pandemic, our hearts and thoughts go out to the people who have been affected by this unprecedented event: We appreciate and support the healthcare workers, local communities, and governments around the world who are on the front line working to contain this coronavirus. Please know that we are vigilantly monitoring the COVID-19 situation around the clock and have precautions in place to ensure a healthy stay.

We are closely monitoring the World Health Organization (WHO), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and local health agencies for the latest developments related to COVID-19 and following the guidance of governments and public health officials. We are reinforcing these agencies’ recommendations on the appropriate health and safety measures with our own hostel management team.
