With the world still reeling from the coronavirus pandemic, Uber says soon drivers and riders will be required to wear a face mask or a face covering while inside a ride-sharing vehicle.

According to CNN , the company will roll out the new policy in the coming weeks in specific markets, which includes the United States.

In a statement to CBS News , Uber said they plan on shipping supplies to drivers before they implement the new policy.

The ride-sharing company said they are developing technology that would detect drivers' usage of face coverings, CNN reported.
