Mexico City Metro authorities issued five recommendations for users to protect the accommodation and avoid spreading the COVID-19 virus by using this means of transport.
As the first rule, mentioned by the Metro on your Twitter account, you are required to use cover covers.
“It should be kept on throughout the journey properly, covering from the nose to the chin. We also recommend using a mask to provide a higher level of protection,” the Collective Transportation System said.
The second rule is to use antibacterial gel, “after holding on to handrails and metal structures”. People are also asked to avoid taking their hands to their faces during their journey and when they arrive at their destination wash their hands with soap and water.
As a third rule, it’s staying silent. “Avoid talking, singing, screaming or calling on a cell phone. The action is aimed at reducing the emission of the droplets that are generated when speaking, and thereby reducing the possibility of contagion in enclosed spaces.

The fourth rule mentioned by the Metro is that people, in case of coughing or sneezing, cover the area of the nose and mouth with the inner angle of the elbow, which prevents the spread of saliva droplets.
The fifth and final recommendation of the authorities is “to avoid ingesting or sharing food and beverages within the facilities, either inside the wagon, as well as in access areas, arrival corridors or transhipments”.
