Using Or Driving Rideshare During The Coronavirus? Stay Safe With These Tips

Forbes

If you’re of the opinion that this virus is “no big deal” because you’re typically in the best of health and would likely survive COVID-19, imagine if you’re the reason that an older person or child with a health condition gets deathly ill because you wouldn’t take a break while you weren’t feeling 100%.

So in the interest of keeping people safe while getting them where they want to go, here are some tips for both drivers and passengers. Make sure your car is as clean as an operating room. Get a readily-available EPA-recommended disinfectant and literally bathe the inside of your car with it. Cover up, wear gloves, and a mask.

Keep your hands to yourself in the car. Let the driver get the door (it’s fine to ask) and once in, buckle in and keep your hands, elbows and all else to yourself. Want the window down? Ask the driver to do it. Feel a cough or sneeze coming on? Aim for the crook in your elbow or use a hankie.
