Question: Do takeaway food and food delivery businesses in England need to close due to COVID-19?

Answer passage (source: UK):
page_title: Restaurants offering takeaway or delivery
section_headers: 8. Inbound and outbound goods
section_content: Objective: To maintain social-distancing and avoid surface transmission when
goods enter and leave the site, especially in high volume situations, for
example, distribution centres, despatch areas.
Steps that will usually be needed:


Revising pick up and drop off collection points, procedures, signage and markings.


Considering methods to reduce frequency of deliveries, for example by ordering larger quantities less often.


Minimising unnecessary contact at gatehouse security, yard and warehouse. For example, non-contact deliveries where the nature of the product allows for use of electronic pre-booking.


Where possible and safe, having single workers load or unload vehicles.


Where possible, using the same pairs of people for loads where more than one is needed.


Enabling drivers to access welfare facilities when required, consistent with other guidance.


Encouraging drivers to stay in their vehicles where this does not compromise their safety and existing safe working practice, such as preventing drive-aways.


Creating one-way flow of traffic in stockrooms.


Adjusting put-away and replenishment rules to create space for social distancing. Where social distancing cannot be maintained due to workplace design, sufficient mitigation strategies should be designed and implemented.
