“Currently, there is no evidence of food or food packaging being associated with transmission of COVID-19. Like other viruses, it is possible that the virus that causes COVID-19 can survive on surfaces or objects. For that reason, it is critical to follow the four key steps of food safety: clean, separate, cook and chill,” said the Food and Drug Administration on its website. Specifically, GrubHub is differing commission fees for impacted restaurants and also matching promotions run by independent restaurants. Using what it calls “contact-free delivery,” drivers drop off your order on the doorstep, in the lobby or another area designated by you.

Another delivery service, Postmates, has an alternative drop-off option to avoid contact with whoever is delivering your food, which requires users to download the latest version of the Postmates app. DoorDash asks that users request no-contact delivery in the delivery instructions before checking out. Drive-thrus are also staying open around Maryland. In Virginia, restaurants and bars are not ordered closed, but some are doing carryout only. If your favorite restaurant is open for orders, WTOP will list it online: Send us an email at talkback@wtop.com. Below is a list of all the restaurants still open for delivery. [EDITOR’S NOTE: As bars and restaurants evaluate the viability of staying open on a day-to-day basis, please be sure to call ahead or check their social media profiles before ordering or visiting.]
