Coronavirus: Ministry releases guidelines for safe travel

With the arrival of phase two of the coronavirus emergency and the easing of the lockdown, more people are travelling on public transport.

According to National Institute for Insurance against Accidents at Work - INAIL, the whole public transport system should be considered a situation of medium-high risk of aggregation, and possibly high risk during rush hour, especially in the densely populated metropolitan areas.

With SarsCoV2 still in circulation, it is necessary for passengers to respect some basic rules to avoid contagion and safeguard everyone's health when they use buses, trams, metros and trains.

The health ministry has published a list of these rules in a infographic:

HEALTH
Do not use public transport if you have symptoms of acute respiratory infections (fever, cough, cold)

TICKETS
If possible, buy tickets in an electronic format online or via apps

SIGNAGE
Follow the signs and the paths set in stations and at stops

DISTANCE
Always keep a distance of at least one metre from other people in each stages of a trip

DOORS

SEATS

HANDS
