    TO minimise contact between cabbies and their passengers and reduce the spread of Covid-19, ComfortDelGro Corporation is installing plastic shields in 400 of its taxis.

    Called V-shield, the plastic shield will cover the driver's cabin entirely, with two "window" openings for passengers to make payment, the mainboard-listed group said on Wednesday.
