speach on public transport is a medium to spread covid 19
Answers
Answer:
Despite the reported rapid transmission globally, early
understanding of transmission dynamics suggests that
COVID-19 is the first pandemic where transmission
can be controlled by implementing necessary
measures at an appropriate scale.
Social distancing measures and good (enhanced) hygiene practices,
similar to public health response to an influenza pandemic, are top
of the list in terms of transmission control interventions (pre-
emptive and otherwise).

To that effect, public transport systems such as buses and trains
could be a high risk environment for COVID-19 transmission
(especially in certain geographies) due to the high number of people
in a confined space, limited access control to identify potentially
sick persons, and importantly a number of common surface touch
points such as ticket machines, handrails and door knobs.

At the same time, public transport is a vital service in any society
and service continuity is important not only for sustaining
economic activity, but also important in a situation such as this
where passengers may have to travel to access appropriate public
health care.
In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, operators globally have
been taking appropriate measures to protect both the community
and its workers, in-line with their respective health authority
guidelines.
In February 2020, UITP released guidelines to assist public
transport operators in tailoring business continuity plans
responding to specific challenges of communicable diseases.
The speed of transmission of COVID-19 has created an
imperative to quickly share knowledge from the front line,
particularly from jurisdictions who have been at the forefront of
the outbreak.
