As many as 100,000 medical workers, first responders and relief workers worldwide who are working to battle the COVID-19 outbreak could have free places to stay from Airbnb and its hosts. “We’ve heard from countless hosts around the world who want to provide a comforting home to heroic first responders," said Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia in an announcement on the Airbnb website Thursday. "We are connecting our nonprofit partners, government agencies, and others with our incredible host community to work together in these extraordinary times.” Airbnb hosts can opt to make their homes open for free through Airbnb’s Open Homes platform, or Airbnb will waive fees for stays with hosts who cannot make homes available for free.

As the demand for masks and gowns have surged, we’re fortunate to have teamed up with Major League Baseball to find a unique way to support our frontline workers in this fight to stem the virus, who are in dire need of essential resources,” says Michael Rubin, executive chairman at Fanatics.
