The Philippines’ every day everything app, Grab together with the National Task Force on COVID-19 (NTF) and the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA), is furthering its commitment to platform safety as it launches its RT-PCR testing site for its driver- and delivery-partners in Metro Manila. Located in Quezon City Memorial Circle, driver- and delivery-partners can avail of the free-of-charge RT-PCR testing starting 30 July 2020.

“Safety has always been at the core of everything we do at Grab. We believe that through our partnership with the National Taskforce on COVID, the BCDA, and our driver- and delivery-partners, we continue to ensure our communities’ safety as we navigate our paths to the new normal,” according to Brian Cu, Grab Philippines President.

This two-month initiative is additive to the recently rolled-out GrabProtect program — which further raises the bar of safety and hygiene across Grab’s suite of essential services.
