The Finnish Transport and Communications Agency (Traficom) has prepared a set of health security recommendations for transport operators with the aim of ensuring that transport services remain safe under the current exceptional circumstances.
“Our goal in issuing these recommendations is to support transport operators and facilitate the adoption and application of the guidelines and recommendations published by the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare and other public authorities in the context of transport services", said Jarkko Saarimäki, Deputy Director-General at Traficom.
Transport operators have the opportunity to promote health security in transport services and help ensure that they are safe for all users. “I am happy to note that a number of operators have already made the decision to improve the health security of their services by adopting some of the recommended measures. Following these recommendations will allow us to further reduce the risk of the coronavirus spreading in transport services”, Saarimäki added.
