It's not just airlines requiring masks for passengers. Soon, Uber riders – and drivers – will need to wear face masks or some kind of face covering.
So far Uber has 1.4 million face masks that have either shipped or are in the process of being packed and shipped in the U.S., the company says. Delivery has been prioritized to cities that have asked drivers to wear face covers; those cities include New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.
"Our teams are preparing for the next phase of recovery, where we will all have a role to play," Uber said in its statement."We’ll communicate updates directly to users when ready, but in the meantime we continue to urge all riders and drivers to wear masks or face coverings when using Uber.”
