Uber riders and drivers in UK must wear face masks - Business Insider

Uber passengers and drivers in the UK will have to wear a face covering from Monday 15 June to take rides, the company announced.

Passengers who refuse can be denied service by drivers, with drivers able to cancel ride requests without a penalty fee. Drivers will also have to confirm in the app that they are both sanitizing their cars regularly and washing their hands — though with many public facilities and restaurants closed restricting bathroom access while they're working, it isn't clear how they're meant to do this.

The news comes as two British Uber drivers argue a case against the government in the High Court, accusing ministers of failing to protect low-paid gig workers during the pandemic. Ride hailing has fallen drastically around the world over the last three months as countries maintained strict lockdowns, and any drivers relying predominantly on Uber for income will have been hard hit.
