How can I ride safely using a cab or car service during the COVID-19 pandemic?

See full answer First, everyone in the vehicle should wear a mask for the entire ride. To improve the air flow, keep the windows open if possible and, if you need to turn on the air conditioning, don’t recirculate the air as that will only spread germs. The virus can also be spread by touching a contaminated surface and then touching your face—especially the mouth, nose or eyes. To prevent this from happening, you should sanitize your hands and/or use antiseptic wipes on frequently touched surfaces especially before handling your own belongings or face. If you are the passenger, be sure to use hand sanitizer soon after you first get in the car when you will have just touched the door handles, seat belt and possibly window controls. Then, try not to touch anything during the trip—especially your face—and use hand sanitizer, if you do. If possible, use a contactless payment option. Sep 17, 2020
