Minibus operators, taxi drivers, and speedboat operators are now required to be fully vaccinated in order to operate public transportation.
The new rule will take effect on Sunday, August 1, 2021, and was published in the Official Gazette.
The rule, which was signed by the Minister of Health Dr. Frank Anthony, states: “every operator and conductor of any transportation service shall be vaccinated and have in their possession an official identifications document and their vaccination card and shall produce these documents when requested to so by a Police officer or any person authorised by the Minister of Health.”
The operators and conductors are also tasked with ensuring that every passenger wears a face mask.
