The Public Health Ministry has instructed some 201,800 taxi drivers in Bangkok to wear facemask a measure to prevent the spread of type-A (H1N1) influenza to passengers.
They were also asked to check body's temperature and clean their taxi cap, steering wheel, and door handle by using disinfectant.
Facemasks and hand-wash gel will be available in taxi cap. The ministry said 4 paper face masks will cost Bt 10 and one fabric face mask will cost Bt 10. Hand wash gel will cost Bt25 per 50 grammes.-The Nation/Asia News Network
WTF . If this happen to Singapore . It must be both ways not only taxi drivers. You think we stupid ? We may be cabbies . But please impose this on passengers first before coming to us . Passengers need to wear a body bag before coming on board !
Agreed with bro Moshi2. But pax that are not feeling well should either stay at home or atleast wear a mask and request to wind down the windows when taking cab. This is basic social responsibilities, which is very lacking here.... Wondering what goes wrong in our world class education system? We have top scholars but all are like brainless zombies and the very basic social behaviour and responsibilities are all gone.....
