However, David O. Freedman, M.D., professor emeritus of infectious diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, shares tips for traveling in the safest manner possible for you and the health of other riders as well.
“First and foremost, wearing a mask at all times is a critical way to protect yourself and others.
With proper wear, it blocks droplets from your sneezes or coughs and minimizes opportunities for you to touch your face and either spread or come into contact with the virus from other people.
This includes staying at least six feet from others when entering and exiting the ride, at ticket stations, and in other high-traffic areas riders may find themselves in during the journey.
If possible, Freedman suggests modifying typical routes to take a less crowded way that may avoid hotspot areas in a city, although this may not always be an option.
