Etenesh Abera @EteneshAbAddis Abeba, April 16/2020 – The Federal Ministry of Transport said cross-country public transports services across the country resume to function as of today. This comes after almost all regional states have banned public transport services to and from their respective regions as measures to contain the spread of the COVID-19. Oromia, Amhara, SNNP, Tigray, Afar regional states as well as Dire Dawa City Administration were among the major regional states that have closed their borders banning cross-country public transport vehicles. The ministry said the services in all the six federal bus stations under its authority in the capital Addis Abeba will now resume. The ministry introduced six different measures as conditions which it said will help prevent the spread of the virus.
