Call the Car is committed to following the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, caused by the coronavirus.  The safety and wellbeing of our employees, vendors, and the members we serve, is our highest priority.

​

Our drivers and vendors are instructed to practice the below standards to ensure the health and safety of our passengers and reduce the risk of transmission:

​

• Clean frequently touched surfaces and objects, including door handles and seat belts, before transporting a new passenger.  New disposable gloves are used during each cleaning and immediately disposed of after each use.

• Offering facemasks, when available, for patients/caregivers to wear if a patient is sick or is caring for someone who is sick.

• Turning off air recirculation and opening vents in both the driver and passenger compartments to maximize air changes which reduces potentially infectious particles in the vehicle.

• If available, drivers wear a single pair of disposable gloves during transport and change gloves if they become torn or contaminated, in addition to changing gloves between rides.

• Washing hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or using an alcohol-based sanitizer (at least 60% alcohol), if available, when using soap and water is not possible.

• Avoiding touching eyes, nose, or mouth with hands.

• Staying home when not feeling well, regardless of symptoms.

• Covering mouth with a tissue when coughing and/or sneezing and disposing the tissue immediately.

 

Call the Car is complying with the most recent standards set by the CDC and will make adjustments as new information becomes available.

​

Our goal is to lower the risk of transmission and ensure the safety our passengers, vendors, employees, and their families.
