NORFOLK, Va. — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued new COVID-19 safety protocols on Friday for public transit customers to follow.
Hampton Roads Transit passengers and other individuals needing service will be required to wear face masks that cover their mouth and nose on buses, light rail trains, ferries and in the transit centers.
“These new regulations are intended to help protect our operators and customers from the spread of the coronavirus,” said William Harrell, President and CEO of HRT. “As we await further distribution of vaccines, let’s all work a bit harder to stop the spread.”
