Uber and Lyft have announced that as of April 19th, they will no longer require riders or drivers to wear masks during rides.
, Uber states that riders and drivers no longer have to wear masks. The company does note that the CDC “still recommends wearing a mask if you have certain personal risk factors and/or high transmission levels in your area.”Soon after the pandemic began, Lyft established new in-ride policies based closely on public health guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention .
Finally, Lyft notes that it will no longer accept health safety reasons as a cancellation option in the app. If you don’t want to take a Lyft because the driver isn’t wearing a mask, you can still cancel. Just know that you’ll still be paying for the ride. So be it. But changing the rules without warning in the middle of the week won’t be the best option. This will inevitably lead to avoidable conflicts in the coming days.
