Coronavirus information and policy for hosts – Withlocals Help Center

About the coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19)

The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak of coronavirus, known as COVID-19, to be a global pandemic on March 11. Since then the ongoing spread of the novel coronavirus is impacting us both travelers and operators alike as the situation evolves every day around the world.

Given the health and safety risks posed by this virus, we encourage you to check with the World Health Organization (WHO), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), or local government authorities for more information about the impact to your destination. We strongly urge our community to take the necessary precautions to protect yourself when traveling or hosting.

We also invite you to reach out to us directly if the situation evolves in your country or region.
