Restaurant aggregator and food delivery company Zomato has rolled out a new delivery feature that will let customers receive the food orders during the Covid-19 emergencies.

The founder of Zomato, Deepinder Goyal has confirmed this news on his official Twitter account, which was later shared on the app’s official Twitter handle.

Zomato users can now mark the emergency delivery feature while checking out their orders. Under this new feature, the order will be placed by the customer which will be fast-tracked in the queue, and the company will ensure the quicker rider for delivering the food in a short period.

Zomato has also urged people not to misuse this feature, as it can be only used during emergency deliveries will completely contactless to the safety of all the parties involved.

Deepinder Goyal wrote in his tweet, “Thousands of restaurants have pledged to prioritize these orders in their kitchen above all others. All deliveries to such customers will be contactless by default to ensure the safety of our riders, and subsequent customers. Needless to say, all customers should opt-in for contactless deliveries right now.”

Today, along with thousands of our restaurant partners, we just rolled out a “priority delivery for covid emergencies'' feature on the Zomato app. This feature will allow our customers to mark *This order is related to a COVID-19 emergency* option during checkout. (1/4) pic.twitter.com/BxmBF02PnS
