UberEats has launched a range of Covid-19 specific safety features allowing customers to access food and essential supplies from the comfort of their homes and help the authorities in containing a second wave of Covid-19 cases.
The features include a Checklist of COVID safety measures before courier partners can go online, mask verification selfie and frequent temperature checks for courier partners, contactless ‘Leave at Door’ deliveries, and in-app reminders to courier partners to observe social distancing norms. Complementing these measures, Uber Sri Lanka has procured and started distributing safety supplies- such as masks and sanitisers- worth Rs 10 million, free of cost to drivers and courier partners.
Since May 2020, Uber Eats has distributed masks and sanitisers to the value of nearly Rs. 5 million to courier partners.
