On the contrary, media reports claim that 311 delivery boys in Hyderabad have contracted the Covid-19. The apps based companies are not providing any sort of help to the delivery boys and strangely asked them to take care of their own safety. But as per the government norm, app based companies have to provide PPE kits to delivery boys.

Same is the case with Auto and cab drivers. Nearly 550 Ola and Uber cab drivers and 1000 aito drivers have tested positive for the virus and this is mainly due to no restrictions on moments and the app based companies are running their operations from various parts of the country. Shocking Ola and Uber are said to be ignoring the safety measures for their drivers.
