Mask policies have been changing in Disney World and throughout the United States.
The national mask mandate in place for public transportation in the U.S. was recently struck down by a federal judge and 12 major airlines subsequently ended their mask mandates. Now a popular rideshare company has followed suit, and here’s how your next ride could be impacted.
NBC News reported that Uber has updated their mask policy as of April 19th, and masks are no longer required for Uber riders or drivers. Uber advised. customers, “If you ever feel uncomfortable, you can always cancel the trip.”
According to NBC News, Uber did note that the CDC still recommends masks in circumstances such as high personal risk or living in an area with high COVID-19 cases, and they also said, “Remember: many people still feel safer wearing a mask because of personal or family health situations, so please be respectful of their preferences.”
Lyft, the rideshare company that also operates Minnie Vans around Disney World (which are returning soon), has not yet changed their mask policy, and masks are still required in Lyft vehicles at this time.
