Uber Eats UK general manager Toussaint Wattinne said: “We are really excited to be launching in Newport, firstly with McDonald’s and KFC and a host of local restaurants joining in the coming weeks.

“As the nation’s lockdown slowly beings to lift, we hope to make it even easier for local residents to enjoy a variety of delicious food both comfortably and safely.”

Uber Eats has introduced measures ensuring each courier can access personal protective equipment (PPE) to safeguard personnel and customers.

It is also providing couriers with over one million masks and free sanitising products.

In May this year, Uber Eats exited eight smaller markets.

The company ceased its operations in Ukraine, Czech Republic, Romania, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Honduras and Uruguay from 4 June.
