Said OYO: “Beginning March 24, medical first responders will receive free accommodations at any OYO Hotel in the United States so they can sleep, shower or just get off their feet and recharge”.
“To all the medical personnel fighting this disease on the front lines, we welcome you and we can't be grateful enough,” it said.
The health workers can call (+1) 628-213-7020 (code: OYO4FIRSTRESPONDERS) to get their reservation for the nearest OYO and with valid active First Responder identification, all the costs will be covered by OYO Hotels.
OYO CEO Ritesh Agarwal thanked Ivanka for her appreciation in a Twitter post.

There is some speculation that the US could be the next epicenter of the pandemic.
