Covid-19: Operations During Alert Level 4

Back
By zoomy-support

With the recent news of New Zealand moving into Alert Level 4 we wanted to reassure you that Zoomy will be able to assist you in your transportation needs during this time. However, rides should only be ordered to reach essential service businesses, routine medical services, or to transport children between shared custody homes.

Safety has always been our top priority and we will continue to inform you, our users, of any updates which we may receive from the government. In the meantime, we do ask that you continue to follow best practices to ensure your health is in top condition.

For both drivers and passengers we ask that you do not compromise your own health or that of each other. If you would like to wear a mask, covering your nose and mouth, and gloves this would be alright. We also recommend that you sanitise your hands regularly with soap and water, or hand sanitiser, and dry thoroughly. Also please cover your sneezes or coughs to ensure containment of any illness. Drivers are also being encouraged to only take the amount of passengers as there are back seats, passengers are not to be sitting in the front of the vehicle in any case during Alert Level 4. 

For drivers we ask that you disinfect anything the passenger may have touched after each ride (including seatbelts, and door handles both inside and outside).

For passengers you may want to also carry sanitiser with you. Also the Ministry of Transport has informed drivers to only take as many passengers, in one journey, as there are back seats. This may mean that passengers need to make two trips or reduce their bubble size to commute as most drivers only have 3 backseats available. 

Again, we will be here for you over these next 4 weeks and there’s no better time than now to support local. If you need any assistance from our team please do not hesitate to reach out to driver@zoomy.co.nz if you’re a driver or passenger@zoomy.co.nz if you’re a passenger.

Also please keep an eye out on your inbox for updates as things may change quickly as we’ve experienced.

Stay safe and healthy.
