Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Travel Restrictions

Ms Anne Graham:

It is not for the NTA to put forward advice about that. It is a matter of Government guidelines. NPHET advice is that the use of face coverings on busy public transport is advised. We certainly support that. We encourage our customers to use face coverings on busy public transport, especially as it gets busier in phase two. We are running a campaign on public transport and social media to ask all public transport customers to wear face coverings to protect drivers and operator staff as well as other customers. Making them compulsory or mandatory is a matter for the Government.
