As we slowly — very slowly! — return to the new normal in the Age of COVID-19, there are a few guidelines we all need to follow in order to ensure we keep ourselves and others safe. And as car travel, specifically Uber, is quickly becoming a preferred mode of transportation amid the pandemic, here are some basic measures we all should follow:
1. Wear a face mask
Uber recently introduced a new known as “No Mask, No Ride,” which requires both drivers all riders to wear masks during the trip. In addition, riders now have grounds to cancel a trip if their Uber driver isn’t wearing one.
2. Wash your hands
Yep, as easy as that. According to experts, regular hand-washing for at least 20 seconds is one of the best ways of stopping the spread of coronavirus. According to Uber, in order to practice responsible hygiene, wash your hands before and after every trip. This way, you avoid bringing germs into an Uber and taking them with you afterward.
3. Open a window
The CDC recommends you open your windows – at home and more importantly when traveling – in order to increase ventilation.
These three simple steps will insure we go about our day to day activities, as responsibly as possible.
