Greetings fellow Airbnb Hosts! Since the onset of the pandemic last March, we incorporated a quick Covid-screening questionnaire in to our pre-check-in email. It looks something like this;
Hello [first name]. We look forward to welcoming you here tomorrow. We apologize to have to ask these questions, but considering the new reality of pandemic travel and for everyone's safety - would you mind letting us know if the answer to any of the following questions is YES?
In the past THREE (3) days, have you experienced 1. fever or chills, 2. a new cough, 3. unusual shortness of breath, 4. a sore throat, 5. a loss in smell or taste. In the past 17 days, have you been exposed to anyone who has tested positive for the Novel Corona-virus (Covid-19)?
We appreciate your understanding as we strive to provide clean, sanitized and comfortable accommodations for your upcoming visit!
My question is this... For those hosts who are doing something similar, has anyone inquired about vaccination status? If so, would you mind responding with your verbiage? I've heard differing opinions on the legality of asking about this due to HIPAA laws in the US.
Thank you in advance for any help here.
