Mask distribution to Uber Eat delivery staff New Corona measures April 24, 15:53
The "Uber Eats" operating company, where ordinary people deliver food to customers as delivery staff, began sending 900,000 masks for delivery staff as a measure to prevent infection with the new coronavirus. There was a request from the delivery company to send the masks.
According to the Uber Eats management company, we started sending masks from the 24th to the 16 delivery staff in Japan, such as Tokyo and Osaka, who are providing services. According to the company, we have procured 900,000 pieces in total from overseas manufacturers, and we are sending 25 pieces per person, considering adding more depending on the situation, and proceeding with the arrangement of disinfectant. We also plan to provide masks to drivers of the dispatch service we work with in partnership with taxi companies and hire companies around the world.
The Uber Eats Union, an organization made by delivery staff, also requested the operating company to send masks. Since the operating company has a choice to deliver food by so-called "delivery", where food is placed at the front door, etc., as a measure to prevent infection, the delivery service will continue to operate normally.
