What should we advise a host family if their student gets sick or another member of the host family gets sick?

Please follow your normal protocol for having students evaluated for any type of illness. Should a student need to go to the hospital for any type of illness or concern, please follow appropriate reporting protocols by alerting the student’s liaison, your local Volunteer Support Coordinator, Participant Support Specialist, and the AFS Duty Officer (if after hours).

Should you learn that a student or a member of a host family being tested for, and/or diagnosed with COVID-19 please notify your Volunteer Support Coordinator, and/or Support Staff as quickly as possible Please also request that the host family follow government guidelines for reporting and quarantine accordingly.
