Bolt Suspends Deliveries Amid Extreme Weather Conditions
Bolt, a leading food delivery company, has announced the temporary suspension of its food delivery services using two-wheeled vehicles due to the extreme heatwave currently affecting the region.
Measures to Protect Delivery Partners
The decision to suspend deliveries was made with the safety and well-being of Bolt's delivery partners in mind. The company will continue to deliver food using cars, which may result in longer delivery times.
The suspension is in compliance with the measures and guidelines issued by the relevant authorities due to the extremely high temperatures. Bolt is closely monitoring the weather conditions and is in constant evaluation of the official guidelines to take all necessary measures to protect its partners.
Protecting Delivery Partners from the Heat
Bolt reminds all its delivery partners of the importance of following heat protection guidelines, such as frequent hydration, regular breaks in cool spaces, and avoiding prolonged exposure to the sun.
- Delivery partners are advised to take regular breaks in cool spaces.
- They should also avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.
- Frequent hydration is also essential to prevent dehydration.
Statement from Bolt Country Manager
Alexandros Lambrou, Country Manager of Bolt in Cyprus, stated: "The safety and health of our delivery partners are our top priority. In extreme heat conditions, we believe it is essential to prioritize the protection of our partners who are on the road every day. That's why we have decided to temporarily suspend deliveries using two-wheeled vehicles during the hottest hours of the day, while deliveries continue with cars, in full compliance with the guidelines of the relevant authorities."
Bolt thanks its customers for their understanding and cooperation during the implementation of these extraordinary measures and will resume normal deliveries with two-wheeled vehicles as soon as the weather conditions and the guidelines of the relevant authorities permit.
