<p><strong><u>KRO Covid Policy</u></strong></p>

<p>KRO TNC takes the health of our riders and drivers very seriously. As such we adhere to state and federal health guidelines regarding the Covid pandemic. Though conditions may change at this time KRO does not require the mandatory wearing of masks during trips for riders or drivers. All riders and drivers should, however, take their own personal health into consideration, and wear a mask if in a high health risk factor group. Drivers and riders should also wear a mask in states where Covid numbers are high or where particular states, regions, or cities have been indicated as high-risk Covid areas. We adhere to CDC Covid recommendations and suggest drivers and riders take into consideration their own personal health in mask wearing. If KRO drivers or riders feel more comfortable wearing a mask,KRO certainly encourages them to do so.</p>

<p>KRO adheres to all federal, state, and county health guidelines in setting standards for masks during rides, and may if federal or state guidelines change, require drivers and riders to adhere to mask wearing for their own personal safety. This KRO Covid policy is therefore subject to change at the sole discretion of KRO and could be changed to adhere to state and federal health recommendations, and guidelines to combat the Covid pandemic.</p>

<p>KRO does not, currently, restrict riders to the back seat. This also is subject to change in high-riskCovid conditions, as state or federal guidelines change. If large groups require a front seat drivers will normally accommodate riders. If this changes this policy will be updated on the KRO app and the website at the discretion of KRO.</p>

<p><strong>Riders should adhere to normal federal and state health recommendations and to CDC guidelines for health and safety as it relates to the Covid pandemic and public spaces. </strong></p>

<p><strong><u>The following is the current CDC guideline via the CDC website: </u></strong></p>

<p style="margin-left:.5in">As a result of a court order, effective immediately and as of April 18, 2022, CDC’s January 29, 2021order requiring masks on public transportation conveyances and at transportation hubs is no longer in effect. Therefore, CDC will not enforce the Order. CDC continues to recommend that people wear masks in indoor public transportation settings at this time.</p>
