Our safety concept
for carpooling in Switzerland
HitchHike safety concept
Anyone who has COVID-typical symptoms (cough, temperature, headache) should refrain from offering or participating in carpools
People should refrain from shaking hands and making direct physical contact
Everyone carpooling should wear a mask
The car should be ventilated regularly during the journey
Passengers: disinfect or thoroughly wash your hands before getting into the car
Drivers: keep the car clean and sanitised
If a person is subsequently found to be infected with COVID-19, the carpool should report this to the authorities for contact tracing
