During a pandemic such as the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important for delivery drivers to follow safety practices in order to protect themselves and others from viruses. Whether you're a professional delivery driver or simply delivering packages for extra money, there are a few key things to keep in mind to help reduce the risk of transmission.
It is very important to follow proper hand hygiene. This includes washing your hands frequently with soap and water, using hand sanitizer, and avoiding the habit of touching your face. It's also a good idea to bring hand sanitizer or wipes with you to use before and after handling packages.
Another key safety practice is wearing a face covering or a facial mask. This can help reduce the spread of respiratory droplets that may contain the virus. It's important to use a face covering that covers both your nose and mouth, and to ensure that it fits snugly and comfortably.
It is also a good idea to maintain a distance of at least 6 feet from others, as much as possible. This includes when you're interacting with customers or making deliveries.
By following these safety practices, you can help protect yourself and others from COVID-19 while delivering packages.
