Petrol pumps, being under essential services, are exempted from following the protocols of the lockdown period. Therefore, it is very important to comply with the rules of social distancing here at the fuel stations to stop the spread of the disease.

A petrol pump in Madurai, Tamil Nadu has set up an example for others by promoting social distancing of 1 meter between the vehicles. They have done this by marking rectangular spaces for each vehicle and circular ones for the rider to guarantee social distancing.
