.Uber is ending its policy requiring drivers and riders to wear masks during trips in the United States, the company announced on Tuesday.
Uber's reversal of its pandemic-era policy comes on the heels of a Florida judge overturning the federal mask mandate for public transportation and transportation hubs on Monday.
"However, the CDC still recommends wearing a mask if you have certain personal risk factors and/or high transmission levels in your area," Uber's statement continued, reminding people to be respectful of others' preferences.The ride-sharing giant added that customers who feel uncomfortable"can always cancel the trip."
Uber asked customers and drivers to continue taking safety precautions on trips, such as rolling down windows, sanitizing hands before and after trips or deliveries, and covering coughs or sneezes.
