Uber senior VP of worldwide rides and stage activities, Andrew Macdonald, said on Twitter that the organization had gotten an underlying group of 30,000 jugs of cleaning shower by Atlanta-based organization Zep Inc.

He said select drivers could put in a request in the application and get shipment for nothing out of pocket.

"As a beginning, we're organizing the most dynamic drivers in a couple of urban areas, incl. NYC," Macdonald composed on Twitter, including that the organization was chipping away at making sure about more supplies.

Beforehand, Uber said providers had organized requests for medicinal services, with its requests being descended the line a few times.

Lyft Inc a week ago said it had conveyed numerous provisions to drivers while its centers were as yet open and were working an approach to circulating them presently, however, they declined to give extra subtleties.

Lyft didn't promptly react to a solicitation for input on Thursday.

The pandemic has likewise uncovered drivers and organizations to the drawback of a vague contractual worker model, leaving drivers more defenseless than customary representatives.
