Uber may suspend accounts of riders drivers who test positive for coronavirus
That's correct. Uber has announced that it will suspend the accounts of both riders and drivers who test positive for COVID-19. This policy is in place to help prevent the spread of the virus and to protect the health and safety of both riders and drivers.
According to Uber's policy, if a driver or rider tests positive for COVID-19, they will be required to:
- Notify Uber of their positive test result
- Self-isolate for at least 14 days
- Provide a doctor's note or other medical documentation confirming their positive test result and self-isolation period
Once Uber receives this information, it will suspend the account of the driver or rider for the duration of their self-isolation period. This means that they will not be able to use the Uber app or provide transportation services during this time.
Uber has also implemented other measures to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, including:
- Increased cleaning and disinfection of vehicles
- Mandatory mask-wearing for drivers and riders
- Social distancing measures, such as limiting the number of riders in a vehicle
- Enhanced screening and monitoring of drivers and riders
It's worth noting that Uber's policy on suspending accounts of riders and drivers who test positive for COVID-19 may vary depending on the country or region in which they operate.
