Yamato Transport Co., Ltd., a major courier company, has decided to allow removal of masks when delivering, when there are no people around. Because it is necessary to prevent heat stroke as well as measures against the new coronavirus, Japan Post has already established a similar policy.
Until now, Yamato Transport has called on drivers to wear masks thoroughly during work as a measure against new coronavirus infections.
However, in the coming season, it will be necessary to prevent heatstroke as well as to prevent infections.Therefore, be sure to remove your mask while working in a place where there are no people around, or on the bed, or while driving in a car with no passengers. We have notified our company of the policy to be approved.
Yamato Transport posts these responses on its website to encourage users to understand.
Regarding the prevention of heat stroke, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare and the Ministry of the Environment are calling for removing the mask depending on the situation such as temperature and humidity when the distance between people is 2 meters or more outdoors, and Japan Post has already done the same. We are summarizing the policy.
