Can I still take a taxi or use a ride hailing app like Lyft or Uber?
Taxis and ride-hailing services like Uber and Lyft remain in operation. However, the Governor has directed all residents to stay at home to minimize the spread of COVID-19 with few exceptions.
Residents may leave their homes to obtain essential goods or services, seeking medical attention, visiting family or close friends, reporting to work, or engaging in outdoor activities.
If it is necessary to leave your home, individuals should wear a cloth face covering whenever they go out. Under Executive Order No. 125, individuals MUST wear a face covering when shopping at essential retail businesses, entering a restaurant or bar to pick up takeout orders, or when traveling on public transportation. For more guidance on using face coverings, refer to this article.
If you refuse to wear a face covering for non-medical reasons, a business may deny you entry. Businesses providing medication, medical supplies, or food may not deny entry, but may offer other methods of pickup or goods delivery. For more information, refer to this article.
