STATEMENT BY THE CITY'S MAYORAL COMMITTEE MEMBER FOR TRANSPORT, ALDERMAN FELICITY PURCHASE I want to remind residents to please commute for urgent matters only - to buy food, to get chronic medicine, access healthcare, or to collect a grant.
All of us must avoid unnecessary trips in order to limit
the spread of COVID-19.
We have noticed an increase in queues and activities at minibus-taxi facilities across the city yesterday and this morning, and I am particularly worried abo ut people who are standing closely together in these spaces.
In the coming days, the City will visit some of the public transport facilities and use a loud hailer to inform commuters about the Coronavirus, and to remind them to avoid physical contact with one another.
All of us must keep at least one metre apart during the lockdown period, avoid contact with each other, wash our hands often with soap and water or use hand sanitiser, sneeze or cough into our elbows, avoid touching our faces, and most importantly,
avoid travelling as far as possible.
Commuters must plan their trips carefully because public transport services are not allowed to operate between 10:00 and 16:00 in the afternoon.
