It seems like we just can't catch a break from the COVID-19 outbreak. More and more gatherings or upcoming outdoor activities and weddings are likely to be cancelled or delayed. With this, Airbnb has recently announced that their Extenuating Circumstances policy has been updated and expanded worldwide.

According to their newsroom, the updated policy will now allow hosts and guests to cancel their reservations without any charge or penalty fee. However, do take note that this is only applicable to existing reservations on or before 14 March 2020, as well as check-in dates between now and 14 April 2020. This will take effect in every country and region, with China being the only exception. They are scheduled to resume operations on 1 April 2020.

Countries around the world are already starting to impose strict travelling policies or bans. For instance, no one is allowed to travel into or out of Brunei, and those who are planning to fly into Australia must stay in quarantine for 14 days before venturing out. Tough times call for hard measures, remember to keep your hygiene clean and wash your hands regularly with soap.
