I’m re-opening my Airbnb this fall. Trying to get my COVID protocols in place, changing out stuff to make it easier to clean, stocking up on inventory, add Airbnb Proper Insurance (Went up to $3000 a year), etc.
Does anyone know for sure if you can only allow folks that are vaccinated or will airbnb will claim discrimination or whatever their beef-du-joire is for the month?
I’m not asking for folks opinions on if or if not its warranted. I am asking if we have a definitive answer from Airbnb about restricting non-vacinated guests (and yes it would be the honor system.)
“ Stephen Sullivan, an attorney that specializes in healthcare law states, “Accordingly, HIPAA nor any other law prevents a premises owner from asking reasonable questions about a customer’s health condition in order to keep his staff and others safe. ”
No, it’s illegal for medical providers to give a patient’s medical info to others unless the patient approves. Unfortunately, many people think it applies to everyone, or means that it’s illegal for anyone to ask, and anti-maskers/anti-vaxxers misuse that misunderstanding, so it’s now an urban myth.
