Delivery Hero co-founder and CEO Niklas Östberg said: “With countries implementing social distancing, we can make a real impact on people’s lives by safely delivering meals, groceries and pharmacy supplies by trained professionals.

“Supporting the delivery ecosystem does not only benefit local businesses, it also helps vulnerable groups such as the elderly to access cooked meals at a time when staying indoors is advised.

“We want to contribute where we can and by caring for our entire community of vendors and restaurants, riders and customers, we are making a difference where it is needed the most.”

Based in the German capital of Berlin, Delivery Hero operates in more than 40 markets.

In December last year, the company signed an agreement to acquire a majority stake in South Korean leading food delivery app operator Woowa Brothers for $4bn.
