With a third of South Africans going back to work since 1 May, many workplaces and public facilities have had to deep clean and sanitise their spaces.
One of the key areas is public transport, the City of Joburg (CoJ) has launched five sanitisation tunnels that will be positioned at Bara Taxi Rank to help stop the spread of Covid-19 in the area.
The way the sanitisation tunnels will work is that commuters and taxi operators should walk through the tunnel, launching a sanitising spray, with the device also conducting thermal scanning to check the temperature.
🎦 WATCH: #WeServeJoburg This is how the sanitization tunnels will operate at Bara Taxi Rank. This device also conducts thermal scanning to check temperatures of taxi operators and commuters. This will go a long way to reduce the spread of Covid-19 at this taxi rank 👌🏾 ^GZ pic.twitter.com/Gl78StmSUR
