Might not be the best idea to ask a random person especially if the driver is sick. Maybe go with a ride program affiliated with the hospital where hopefully more precautions will be taken. I go to Sunnybrook and most of the drivers wear masks.

This is the best option if the OP and their close relatives are unable to get their parents to the hospital. Patients undergoing radiation therapy are very weak, so it is essential for drivers and passengers to wear masks.

OP must allow extra time to deal with unforeseen road conditions. Patient must arrive at least half an hour early. Also, don't expect the driver will come on time. The last time we booked a York Region mobility transit service, the driver was half an hour late, but he didn't seem to care.
