The Coronavirus (COVID-19) Rundown
COVID-19 Resource Center
We continue to work to make information and resources about COVID-19 available to couriers everywhere.
Please visit the COVID-19 Resource Center to stay up-to-date on the latest information around Health and Safety from DoorDash and Caviar and Federal Programs.
Mask Mandates
San Francisco has mandated that all essential workers, including couriers, wear facial coverings when in public spaces.
Law enforcement (and restaurant staff) may stop you, particularly in areas with active mandates, if you do not have the proper equipment.
Remember that masks, hand sanitizer, and gloves are available for free in the special store set up by DoorDash. Please check your email for your unique link.
If you are a new courier or have recently returned to the platform, stay tuned. We’ll continue to work to make this store available for all couriers. Expect an email in the next few days.
