How is Lyft helping protect their drivers during the pandemic?
Lyft's goal is to keep drivers safe and healthy during such difficult times. It's mandatory for all riders and drivers to wear face coverings and not use Lyft if they have COVID-19 or any symptoms. In addition, Lyft's Health Safety Program requires everyone to pledge a health safety commitment before riding or driving with Lyft, and the front seat must always be kept empty.
They are also giving you the control to cancel without penalty if the health safety commitment isn't being followed. You can easily get the latest health safety, education, and policies in the COVID-19 Toolkit, right in the Lyft app. Lastly, Lyft provides access to PPE to their drivers, with no Lyft markup, athttps://lyft-store.com/
