Uber announced that they are suspending its pool ride option in USA and Canada to limit the spread of Coronavirus. UberPool allows riders to book trips at lower costs by sharing the car with up to three other passengers.

“Our goal is to help flatten the curve on community spread in the cities we serve,” said Uber Rides and Platform vice president Andre Macdonald.

Uber users will receive messages suggesting they only book rides that are essential and to travel if its necessary. Uber has also previously stated that it will compensate drivers and delivery people diagnosed with coronavirus or placed in quarantine for up to 14 days. This applies in the U.S. and Canada for now, and the company is evaluating enacting similar measures in other countries where pooled rides are an option.

According to Hypeabeast, UberEats will continue to function, however, the company has stated it will abide with local authorities on adjusting its operations if needed. A spokesperson also confirmed similar steps outside the U.S. and Canada would be evaluated one case at a time.
