With Mumbai reporting two Coronavirus cases and government agencies rushing to make necessary arrangements, food delivery companies are focusing on implementing measures that would safeguard their own delivery executives and customers as well. While Swiggy is offering its customers the option of asking for their food package to be dropped outside their door to avoid contact with the delivery person, Zomato is discussing a possible compensation for their employees with their insurance partners.

Apart from spreading general awareness about washing hands and adopting hygienic methods, food delivery companies have asked their delivery executives to seek medical help in case they notice symptoms of Coronavirus. "If a delivery partner notices any associated symptoms, they have been asked to immediately reach out to us and consult a medical professional. We will provide them with free medical consultation through our partners. Our delivery partners have also been advised to self-quarantine themselves for 14 days upon noticing any symptoms and there will be no loss of pay," said a Swiggy spokesperson.
