Current Situation
Right now, it’s more important than ever that we stay home. Staying home and doing our part will not only protect ourselves from this virus but protect others and help keep our NHS strong.
Despite this however, we still need to eat and shopping for essentials is still very much permitted. For those with their own cars, it’s simply a case of jumping within the safe confines of your own car and visiting the supermarket, ensuring you practice social distancing but what about those without their own car?
Public transport is still very much in place, albeit running on a slightly lowered schedule. Many however, have very real concerns when it comes to using public transport.
Trains & Buses - Are They Safe?
COVID-19 or Coronavirus spreads when a person infected with the virus coughs small droplets into the air. The small droplets, packed with the virus then spread within the air others breathe as well as on surrounding surfaces including hand rails, clothing and more.
As a result of this form of infection, government guidelines stipulate that we practice the above mentioned social distancing, staying a minimum of 2 metres away from anyone that doesn’t reside in our own household. This is where buses and trains become a very real problem.
Whether you’re on a train or a bus, chances are you’ll be sitting so close to the next passenger that you can quite literally touch them. It’s also worth noting that as every passenger mounts and dismounts, the buses and trains continue to run without any form of sanitisation. That means you could potentially be directly affected by the germs of hundreds of people, if not more.
This of course varies with regards to where you live and what routes you take. Those living within inner cities are without a doubt far more at risk with outer towns perhaps offering less crowded public transport. Never-the-less, risk of infection is still very much an issue and must be taken seriously.
