Issues with Hosting Covid-19 responders

[Cecilia46]

I signed up to make my apartment available to Covid-19 responders, but I have some questions.

1. the apartment is in a high-rise building that necessitates taking an elevator up to the 10th floor. Does my apartment qualify in this case as "an entire place without any other guests present"?

2. it is suggested that in addition to the normal amenities, host should provide disposable gloves and wipes and hand sanitizer. These items are very hard or impossible to come by. In fact, I don't have these items at my house because I could not find them. Recommendations?

1. Yes, your apartment would qualify under Airbnb's criteria, since the apartment doesn't have any shared living space. But your residential community may have its own policy or needs to consider

2. As far as I can tell, these are suggestions rather than requirements. Just be clear in your listing what you're abke to furnish and which items you recommend guests source elsewhere.
