Uber makes it mandatory for drivers and passengers to wear masks

Uber made it clear that all drivers and deliverymen are obligated to wear a face-covering tool like a mask. It is not just mandatory as a rule, but automatically checks whether the driver is wearing safety measures using a selfie photo, and a message from the app notifies the driver of safety measures for the user, and if the driver does not wear a mask at the dispatch service, the passenger is fined. You can cancel the use without. Also, to protect the driver, refusal to ride is permitted even if the passenger does not wear a mask.

According to Uber, starting on May 18th, drivers who do not wear masks or other covering devices in the United States, Canada, India, and most of Europe and Central and South America will not be able to use Uber online services. Wearing a mask is a structure to check the driver’s selfie photo online. This verification detects the mask in the photo and examines whether it is worn properly. It does not acquire facial photo data and biometric information in a separate database from the real-time ID verification system using face authentication that Uber introduced for driver verification. The driver informs the passengers through an application that they are properly implementing safety measures.

However, since the dispatch service may cause the driver to infect the driver with Corona 19, the maximum number of passengers using the dispatch service is limited to three, and the seats where passengers can seat are limited to the rear seats. You must also agree to use it with the window open for ventilation. Before boarding, we are asking for cooperation so that we can wash and disinfect our hands and wear a mask before boarding.

If the driver is not wearing a mask, the passenger can cancel the use without penalty. Conversely, the driver can refuse to ride even if the passenger does not wear a mask. This policy will continue until the end of June and will be operated flexibly according to the situation thereafter. Related information can be found here .
