The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) says that it will systematically resume vehicle inspection services. NTSA had temporarily suspended the services in line with government social distancing directive to curb the spread of coronavirus.
In a statement, NTSA says that it will adhere to COVID 19 guidelines such as social distancing rules and provision of personal protective equipment to persons involved in the inspection. In addition, motor vehicle owners are encouraged to use the TIMS (Transport Integrated Management System) account to book for inspection.
The Authority says it has completed inspecting a number of taxis, pickups, and vans that had been booked in Phase 1.
Phase 2 will see all public service vehicles and heavy commercial vehicles undergo inspection. NTSA said that it had adjusted bookings set to expire on 30 May moving them to 31st July 2020.
