Unvaccinated members are no longer required to take an antigen or PCR test before attending a Chapter, Colive, or Unplugged experience.

As soon as you feel any symptoms – whether typical to COVID or any other illness please:

1. Self-isolate right away (avoid being in the same room as others for 5 days or until clear of symptoms)
2. Wear a mask if you have to leave the room (e.g. bathroom or food delivery)

Please be aware that you will first need to follow all local protocols, as these may be different and/or more strict than our guidelines.

If someone tests positive, we ask that you follow the same approach as someone who has symptoms of any contagious illness:

1. Self-isolate right away (avoid being in the same room as others for 5 days)

2. Wear a mask if you have to leave the room (e.g. bathroom or food delivery)

For members who have a private room, it’s possible to stay on the Chapter premises and self-isolate until they are no longer contagious. We only ask that you please wear a mask if you have to leave the room (e.g. bathroom or food delivery).

It's encouraged for roommates to have a conversation at the start of the Chapter or Colive about what each person feels comfortable with should one roommate experience any symptoms (whether COVID or another illness). Members can decide if the symptomatic roommate should find temporary accommodations or any other setup that keeps all members safe and comfortable.

All medical expenses, including but not limited to the PCR tests, medical visits, and transportation to external accommodations, are the sole responsibility of the ill member.

Other non-ill members may be asked to complete additional PCR tests should someone test positive while on Chapter, these testing costs will also be covered by members.

We strongly encourage all Chapter participants to acquire health insurance that covers COVID expenses prior to attending any Chapter. 

When necessary, it’s the ill member’s responsibility to research, secure, and cover all costs associated with their isolation and quarantine. After receiving a positive test result, the ill member must find and secure new accommodations outside of the Chapter premises for the safety of the group. The Chapter Host may aid in finding new accommodations but WiFi Tribe is not responsible for providing housing for the ill member’s quarantine. 

The ill member must also cover the expenses related to transportation to the new accommodations, food, and any other quarantine-related expenses unless otherwise specified by the local authorities.

However, if the ill member is in a shared room and we cannot provide a separate room for the healthy roommate, we will cover their accommodations for a maximum of 48hours. This allows us time to relocate the ill member and properly disinfect the shared room before the healthy roommate returns to the Chapter premises.

In the unlikely event that the majority of members on the Chapter test positive and agree to stay in the Chapter accommodations, all healthy members will be moved to new accommodations. Rather than the ill members paying for new accommodations for themselves, they will cover the costs associated with relocating the healthy members.

We will first follow all local protocols and use our internal guidelines where necessary.

If  the member does not present persevering, serious covid symptoms such as high fever, the following options for release from quarantine are available:

• Present a negative antigen test result taken no less than 5 days from the start of the quarantine or their first symptoms
• Wait 7 days from when the quarantine period started

While we will take preventative measures to help make every member feel comfortable while on Chapter, all members have the right to leave the Chapter and accommodations at any time. However, we do not cover any relocation or repatriation costs or provide Chapter refunds. 

Failing to comply with any of the COVID Health Procedures results in immediate expulsion from the Chapter. We also reserve the right to remove the member from the community entirely.

We continuously review the guidelines published by scientific and medical bodies such as the WHO and CDC. In our guidelines, we also consider additional factors that affect the welfare of the entire group in combination with our Chapter experiences to date. Our protocols may go against your individual wishes or short term freedoms for the greater good of the Chapter and local communities. If you have a complaint about a specific guideline or how a situation is being handled on Chapter, please send an email to hello@wifitribe.co.
