#Grab COVID 19

Grab Philippines is imposing better safety and hygiene standards to limit the spread of the COVID-19 for its GrabCar service with GrabProtect. GrabProtect includes several initiatives, including an online health and hygiene checklist, a mask selfie verification tool, safety and hygiene certification, hygiene kits, and mandatory deep disinfection of vehicles to ensure higher safety and hygiene standards for public transportation in the country. Each GrabCar can only seat two passengers and will sit close to the windows at the back of the vehicle. Only public health vehicles are allowed to transport COVID-19 positive individuals. Passengers will receive a notification reminding them of proper safety and hygiene protocols via GrabChat every time they book a ride. Building on government regulations, GrabProtect's policies further raise Grab's safety and hygiene by implementing the following protocols: Grab driver and delivery-partners have to submit daily health declarations, confirming they are well before starting their day. They, along with passengers, will also be prompted to complete the online health and hygiene checklist by the end of June to confirm they do not exhibit any COVID-19 symptoms. Individuals who have received more than one report about exhibiting symptoms will have their Grab accounts temporarily put on hold until they receive medical clearance.
