As deliveries soar, UPS drivers say the company's coronavirus precautions may not keep them or customers safe. “I got 160 stops, 300 packages,” one driver says “I deliver to doctors’ offices, urgent cares. The potential for bad things to happen is crazy.”

in nine states tell NBC News they don’t think their company has done enough to protect workers or the millions of customers they serve.

But drivers in all nine states said UPS hadn’t provided any protective gear to workers in their areas — no gloves or masks — or instituted “no contact” deliveries. They would also like the company to supply them with hand sanitizer, but UPS has instead advised frequent hand washing, which drivers said isn’t particularly feasible on their routes.A broken sink at a UPS hub in Fresno, Calif.
