Uber Shares Coronavirus Tips For Drivers
As more than 90,000 Coronavirus cases have been confirmed worldwide in the last two months, Uber and Lyft have started giving their contracted drivers advice on how to prevent the potential spread.
Uber, like all the other tech companies around the world, has restricted employees from traveling to countries like China, northern Italy, Iran, and South Korea as a precaution.
