4 Pearson airport taxi and limousine drivers have died of COVID-19, drivers' union says


At least four taxi and limousine drivers who work at Toronto's Pearson International Airport have died of COVID-19, according to an industry union which is now calling for heightened safety measures inside vehicles. "Our members out there are very scared," said Rajinder Aujla, president of the Airport Taxi Association, who said as many as 15 drivers have tested positive for the virus. Aujla says two taxi drivers and two limousine drivers died of COVID-19 from late March to early April. Aujla says two more taxi drivers have died since mid-April, though the union has not yet confirmed their deaths were the result of COVID-19. "Drivers are still in danger," added Navyug Gill, the son of a retired airport taxi driver.
