Help #FlattenTheCurve

At DiDi your safety and the safety of our drivers matters most. By all working together (DiDi, riders and drivers) we can help limit the spread of COVID-19. Please help flatten the curve by practicing these safe and kind ridesharing habits:

To help flatten the curve and mitigate the spread of COVID-19 we ask that you practice the following specific rideshare hygiene advice:

• Use rideshare for essential travel only;

• Sit in the backseat to increase the physical distance between rider and driver;

• Practice good hygiene;

  • Clean hands thoroughly and often using an alcohol-based hand rub or with soap and water;

  • Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, dispose of tissues, and use alcohol-based hand sanitiser;

  • Stay at home if you are unwell.

• Dispose of tissues properly (don’t leave them behind);

• Always carry hand sanitiser to use after touching objects or surfaces of the vehicle;

• Where possible open the car window to allow for external airflow;

• Avoiding rideshare if presenting flu-like symptoms;

• Wear a surgical mask if returning from an overseas trip.

How to report COVID-19

To ensure the safety of the DiDi Community it is strongly advised that you report to us immediate at help.rider@au.didiglobal.com if you are showing symptoms, have been asked to self-isolate or have been diagnosed with COVID-19, this allows us to communicate to those you have been in close contact with.

$10M USD Driver-Partner Relief Fund

We have created a $10 million USD relief fund to support any driver-partner that is diagnosed with COVID-19 or directed to self isolate by a public health authority.

During this challenging time, we ask that you ride safe and ride kind and in doing so help reduce the spread of COVID-19
