In order to prevent the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19), drivers of point to point vehicles need to carry out good hygiene practices and protect themselves and their passengers from the spread of illness.
Here’s a short video guide on how to clean your point to point vehicle.
Drivers should follow safe hygiene practices including:
- Wash hands often with soap and water.
- Drivers should employ standard cleaning practices at the end of each shift, as part of good hygiene practice by wiping down surfaces with disinfectant.
- In the event of a passenger spreading droplets (such as sneezing, coughing or vomiting), clean surfaces with appropriate disinfectant wipes so that the potential spread of infection can be minimised.
- The use of alcohol-based hand sanitiser is advised where possible between hand washes and after opening and closing doors, moving luggage, exchanging payment and after personal contact.
- Customers are encouraged to use contactless payments where possible, to further reduce chances of community spread.
- For those services that do not offer contactless payment, we are advising people to wash their hands or use hand sanitiser to limit the spread of viruses.
Drivers can also refer to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Fact Sheet for general advice in line with the Department of Health guidelines.
