Here are their demands: https://medium.com/@GigWorkersCollective/instacart-emergency...

- Safety precautions at no cost to workers — PPE (at minimum hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes/sprays and soap).

- Hazard pay — an extra $5 per order and defaulting the in-app tip amount to at least 10% of the order total.

- An extension and expansion of pay for workers impacted by COVID-19 — anyone who has a doctor’s note for either a preexisting condition that’s a known risk factor or requiring a self-quarantine.

- The deadline to qualify for these benefits must be extended beyond April 8th.

Considering that hospitals are barely able to get PPE, I think they should be given first priority over delivery people who don't necessarily have to interact with anyone on the receiving end

Instacart could pay someone to make hand sanitizer if they wanted.

They can purchase soap.

Sanitizers are made with alcohol, which are presumably in low supply. It doesn't take that much labor to actually make the sanitizer. All you need to to is mix two ingredients together and bottle it.

Amazon has the global logistical supply chain to make it happen. Bezos can send an email and have a grain-to-alcohol pipeline in the works by the end of the week.
