As you’re aware, we’re being called to stay at home at all times (if possible) to save humanity. What a time to be alive! Staying home more is turning many people into fitness influencers, social media experts and amateur chefs.
But for the rest of us who can’t be bothered to whip up a new recipe for every meal, it’s food delivery to the rescue!
Nevertheless, there are still legitimate concerns involved. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to develop across the world, we try our best to avoid physical contact with anyone apart from the people we live with.
And this includes food delivery riders.
So, how do we get lunch from our favourite chicken shop then?
To lessen our worries, leading online delivery platform foodpanda has implemented several health and safety measures and recommendations to proritise the well-being of their delivery partners.

#2 Wear a mask during shifts
