APPLICATION OF ANTI-EPIDEMIOLOGICAL MEASURES AND COVID-AUTOMAT IN PUBLIC WATER TRANSPORT

ABSTRACT

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused the reduction of services, including transport services. Companies operating in public water passenger transport were not prepared for the implementation of restrictions because, in some countries, the general procedures for the safe operation of regular public water passenger transport were not known. The main contribution of this paper is to discuss the implementation of the current system of safe operation of regular public water transport services in the Netherlands and Spain to a generally applicable model for transport companies. This article links these measures with the general plan for the release and tightening of measures of the Ministry of Health of the Slovak Republic known as COVID-AUTOMAT. © 2022 Silesian University of Technology.
