After suspending its shared ride option in the U.S. and Canada in order to limit the spread of COVID-19, Uber is anticipating a restart to its ridesharing business by requiring drivers and riders to wear face masks when using the platform in the U.S. Executives approved the new policy in a meeting last week and plan to introduce it in the coming weeks.

Once the policy is enforced, Uber drivers and delivery workers will be required to wear a face mask or a face covering, like a mask or bandana, whether or not they have received a company-provided mask.

Uber, like other travel companies, is preparing how it will return back to normal as the country begins to reopen for business. New York University epidemiology professor Robyn Gershon explains that “absolutely positively everyone should be wearing a mask” in a vehicle and believes that new initiatives, such as plastic barriers or divisions, should be employed to protect both drivers and passengers. “We’ll communicate updates directly to users when ready, but in the meantime we continue to urge all riders and drivers to wear masks or face coverings when using Uber,” said Andrew Hasbun, Uber’s head of safety communications.

Trump’s statement was in response to a submitted video question from a Fox News viewer about why he uses harsh rhetoric when dealing with the press corps.

“They always said, ‘No one got treated worse than Lincoln,’” Trump said, while pointing up to Lincoln’s statue, “I believe I am treated worse.”

On Sunday, Trump called the reporters’ questions during the press briefings “disgraceful,” without specifying which journalists he was talking about.

The president added that if he was “kind” to the press he would be “walked off the stage” and went on to say that “94% to 95%” of the press is “hostile.

Uber Technologies Inc. UBER, -4.68% announced in a filing Monday that it planned to discontinue operations for its Eats food delivery business in seven countries as of June 4. Those markets are the Czech Republic, Egypt, Honduras, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Uruguay and Ukraine. This action won’t affect the company’s ride-hailing business in those regions.

Bernstein analyst Mark Shmulik wrote that Uber’s move “should be a positive signal to investors that the company is heading in the right direction here” and he expects “this is likely only Round 1 of ongoing efforts.” Shmulik will be watching for further announcements, which he thinks could focus on Europe or Latin America.

In other news, Apple plans four part bond deal for later Monday.
