Uber will no longer require riders or drivers to wear masks in the U.S.

In the US, masks are no longer required for riders or drivers after a Florida federal judge voided a federal mandate yesterday.

The company said that many people still feel safer wearing a mask because of personal or family health situations.

There are fewer ways to get around if you have an immune compromised rider.

If you ever feel uncomfortable, you can always cancel the trip, but there is no way to know if your driver will be masked or not.

The no-front-seat policy was relaxed to give drivers more room to maneuver. If it is necessary, the front seat is only used by riders in a large group. The company told drivers to use hand sanitizer and to roll down their windows.

The CDC still recommends that people wear a mask if they have certain personal risk factors or high transmission levels in their area. Even if one of the two people in the car is wearing a mask, there is still a higher chance of transmission.

In the U.K. and Ireland, the company has begun relaxing mask policies. At the time of publication, the primary competitor is still enforcing a mask mandate.

Several private travel companies have removed their mask mandates this week. New York City's MTA has upheld their mask requirement.
