While SITU continues to deliver accommodation to its clients, we decided to get in touch to our amazing supply chain around the world, ask how it feels being where they are and what are the differences in each country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Italy and Belgium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"apartment in Milan\" class=\"wp-image-3400 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-260x173.jpg 260w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/milan\/serviced-apartments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CORSA MAGENTA APARTMENT, MILAN, ITALY<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As you might have heard from the news, Italy seems to be nearing its plateau with the infection rate slowly going down. &nbsp;\u201cThe situation here is now starting improving.\u201d \u2013 tells us, Daniele Gradilia, from Milan Retreats. Despite the obvious cancellations, it seems like Milan Retreats are keeping positive, hoping to turn the corner soon. With the business still operational, they are hoping to receive more long-stay reservations once the restrictions lift, but even now there were some bookings from people how could not leave the country or needed to stay in Milan for work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"apartments in Brussels\" class=\"wp-image-3401 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-1-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-1-260x173.jpg 260w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-1.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/serviced-apartments\/belgium\/brussels\/botanique-apartments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BOTANIQUE APARTMENTS, BRUSSELS, BELGIUM<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Belgium still is not in full quarantine as of the beginning of April. But people are not allowed to leave the home unless it is an absolute necessity, tells us Fries Van Den Broeck from BBF Serviced Apartments. With the travel on halt and the offices closed the business continues to work, but they can feel the change. Interestingly enough, they have noticed their guests favouring a single bedroom apartment instead of 2 and 3 bedrooms during the lockdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Finland and Switzerland<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"APARTMENTS\nHELSINKI, FINLAND\" class=\"wp-image-3402 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-2-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-2-260x173.jpg 260w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-2.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/serviced-apartments\/finland\/helsinki\/helsinki-herttoniemi-apartments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HELSINKI HERTTONIEMI APARTMENTS, HELSINKI, FINLAND<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The situation is not dissimilar in the nordic countries. Finland is in full lockdown as Rajnish Kumar from Forenom tells us. However, the company is remaining fully operational, working from home and performing essential job related to quarantine cases. Some guests have self-isolated in their apartments. It is interesting to note that, Forenom has found that existing guests under the current market have more negotiating power as the housing market, in general, was badly hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"APARTMENTS\nZUG, SWITZERLAND\n\" class=\"wp-image-3403 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-3-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-3-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-3-260x173.jpg 260w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/m1-3.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/zug\/serviced-apartments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BAARERSTRASSE 107 APARTMENTS, ZUG, SWITZERLAND<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Felizitas Senfft von Pilsach from Nest Switzerland has also given us an update. \u201cWith Borders closed and the public life shut down we are using the low vacancy to renovate our units so that we\u2019re ready when everything starts to normalize.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is still very early to talk about when the effected countries will start to reopen. The UK has not yet entered its peak, but Spain and Italy seem to be coming out of it. Even when the peak ends, society needs to continue isolating. This will help to avoid a second wave and therefore a second peak. However, it seems like after a few months of extra measurements life should very slowly start going back to the new normal and some travel restrictions will be lifted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SITU remains fully operational, providing housing for essential travellers and will keep you updated on how the industry is coping elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more tips on how to work from home read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/working-from-home\/\">this blog<\/a>.
