“Cleanliness and safety are top of mind for our hosts and guests. In the last weeks, hosts have embraced and adopted our new rigorous guidelines, with thousands more attesting to the Enhanced Cleaning protocol everyday," said Catherine Powell, Airbnb's head of hosting. "This effort shows how our hosts are dedicated to the highest standards and committed to keeping their guests and communities safe.”
