CHENNAI: The Tamil Nadu government has allowed Swiggy, Zomato, Uber Eats and other apps to home deliver cooked food. The services of these food aggregator apps were suspended in the wake of Covid-19. But now delivery of food by these aggregators can happen from 7am to 9.30am, noon to 2.30pm and 6pm to 9pm.

Persons delivering food have been told to get an ID card from police through their respective firms. Food aggregators should ensure that delivery persons’ health is monitored every day.

The move aimed at ensuring food was available for elderly and those who can’t cook.
