In order to continue to provide a safe and reliable Scoop experience for our community in light of COVID-19, we've evolved the carpool experience and moved carpooler health to the forefront of everything we do. As part of this effort, we've implemented health and safety guidelines to keep our community safe when commuting to essential jobs.
These guidelines involve changes to the in-car experience in order to decrease the risk of potential exposure and comply with public health recommendations from the CDC and the WHO. We recognize that these changes to the Scoop experience, just like many other changes we're experiencing in our day-to-day lives, may feel odd or uncomfortable at first. We want to thank our carpoolers for continuing to embrace the values of teamwork, respect, safety, and authenticity as we navigate this new normal.
All carpoolers must comply with the following guidelines to use Scoop as well as their own employer's guidelines and any stay-at-home orders for their area.
Please note that these guidelines are subject to change to adhere to updated public health recommendations. Carpoolers should check back regularly to confirm they're following the most up-to-date information.
- All carpoolers must be symptom-free. In order to schedule and take a Scoop trip, every carpooler must meet the following requirements:
- If you've tested positive for Covid - you must be symptom-free for 5 days from your positive test.
- If you're exposed to covid - You must have a negative test regardless of vaccination status.
- Masks are optional.
- All carpoolers are recommended to wear a face mask that covers their nose and mouth during trips. Please refer to the CDC for information on how to correctly wear a mask.

If the issue cannot be resolved safely, carpoolers should cancel the carpool and contact ScoopCare.
