Ride-hailing companies Uber and Ola have said that they will suspend services in accordance with the government’s decision to put several districts across India under lockdown to contain the alarming spread of coronavirus, PTI reported on Monday.

Only essential services will be allowed to run.

Delhi will be locked down from 6 am on March 23 to midnight on March 31. The city’s borders will remain sealed during the lockdown, but essential services related to health, food, water and power supply will continue, and 25% of the Delhi Transport Corporation buses will run. Private buses, taxis and autorickshaws will be not be allowed.

Uber said that it will follow the restrictions imposed by the central and state governments to contain the rapidly-spreading disease. “Uber is complying with all central and state government directives related to its services for containing the spread of coronavirus,” a spokesperson said, according to PTI. An Ola spokesperson said the company “will enable a minimal network of vehicles to support essential services in cities, wherever applicable, as part of this national effort to reduce the contagion of COVID-19”. The two companies had already suspended shared rides.
