PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Bus Services: Coronavirus (10 June 2020)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether bus drivers are required to wear face coverings when driving during the covid-19 outbreak.

Asked by:
James Wild (Conservative)

Answer

The regulation only applies to passengers, not to workers. Operators should continue to follow the practical steps we have set out in our guidance to ensure their workplaces are COVID-19 secure. Operators should continue to make sensible workplace adjustments, for example introducing screens and providing hand sanitiser.
