The General Secretary of the Fiji Taxi Association Ashwin Lal says it will be up to the individual drivers if they refuse services to people who are not adhering to the COVID-19 protocols set by the Health Ministry.

Lal says they are also urging drivers to only take up to 3 passengers as this will help to maintain social distancing in the taxis.

He further says they are urging drivers to wear masks and use hand sanitizers in battling to stop the spread of COVID-19.

Lal adds people also need to be cautious as they do not know when and where the sickness will go.

He further says they want everyone to be safe and happy.
