Contracting the coronavirus can be a reason to worry for many people — especially for those who don’t have family and friends around to help with food and other necessities. With the second surge being reported and thousands of people testing positive, social media is now flooded with requests from people enquiring about home cooks and caterers: those who can provide food to those quarantined at home.

When someone tests positive for the coronavirus, it is essential that they eat fresh nutritious food on the road to recovery. Cooking food may be a daunting task, especially in the first few days after contracting the virus. Home chefs across the city are stepping in to help, whipping up fresh, healthy food and delivering the meals to homes.

Most of these home chefs use delivery apps to send the food to customers. While some provide free delivery up to a certain distance, if customers are ready to pay, the delivery personnel from the apps can pick up and drop off the food at any location across the city.
