Covid positive test

[Helen497]

What to do if a guest tests positive whilst staying in my seperate studio. Can I ask if they have insurance to cover an extended stay. Air bnb weren’t very helpful really sat on the fence. Any advice would be appreciated. I am based in the Algarve, with British guests they are required to take antigen test before flying had a scare recently when a guest had an inconclusive test luckily he took another test which was negative

@Helen497 @What are the self-isolation rules there

Will incoming guests be inconvenienced if this guest extends their stay?

You should ask this question on your tourist board, it has nothing to do with Airbnb or Bookingcom, or any other agency, they don't have rules about it.

For example here in Croatia hosts are informed what to do if their guest gets sick or positive during the stay.

These are our options:

1- if a guest arrived by car he has to go home

2- if the guest arrived by plane then we can:

- allow them to stay (if our unit is available and if it is not shared by the host or other guests) and charge the guest for their extended stay

- or we can notify the authorities to relocate him in the quarantine.
