Financially support taxi-drivers so they that don't have to work in danger.
My dad is a taxi-driver and he is in danger of getting the Coronavirus, also our family because of him. Also bad passengers might abuse him by coughing on him on purpose. He has stayed home for two days due to the fear of getting the virus but probably not longer because "who will pay him?".
There are many other taxi-drivers who will through this problem with large families and this needs to be taken seriously. Transport should be limited to reduce the spread of infection but my dad has to be paid to run his family as well as all the other people who run their families.
