The Transport Department of Hanoi has asked three local taxi companies to prepare to join in the anti Covid-19 activities in the area.
The department asked Mai Linh Taxi Company, G7 Taxi Company, and Taxi Group to set aside between 100-120 vehicles to support the virus fighting activities in Hanoi.
According to the department, the Covid-19 situation in Hanoi is still complicated with lots of infections found in the community. And as the social distancing rules have continued, there will be a shortage of.vehicle for transportation in case there are more patients.
"We will use the five-seated taxis to transport patients with no or mild symptoms while seven-seated and nine-seated cars will be used for serious patients who cannot walk," the department said.
Since the social distancing rules were imposed three weeks ago, 200 taxis of Mai Linh Company have been mobilised to transport patients and people of the anti-Covid-19 teams while all taxi and public bus services have been suspended.
