Careem and Uber provide contactless food and medicine delivery in Pakistan amid COVID-19 spread

Amid the spread of COVID-19, ride-hailing service providers in Pakistan, Uber and Careem, have implemented contactless food delivery service to avoid the spread of the virus.

Uber makes it convenient to order essentials

With the current preventative measures being taken in different cities of Pakistan due to the COVID-19 threat, the global ride-hailing giant, Uber, has announced the launch of Uber Delivery in Lahore and Islamabad.

The service has been launched to cater the need for services for basic groceries, medicines, and necessity items for the citizens observing social distancing at their homes.

The company has guided the partner-drivers to undertake standard safety and sanitization measures during and after deliveries, in accordance with the directives issued by local authorities, and the delivery service’s availability will also be subject to the mandate given by them.

Uber Pakistan’s GM Saad N. Pall commented:

“In these difficult times, we are trying our best to prioritize the safety and well-being of the communities we operate in,” He further added, “Basic necessities from local convenience stores will be delivered to the doorstep via the new Uber Delivery option in the app. With this initiative, we intend to offer our services to bring some degree of ease and play our part in standing strong to help contain the spread of the virus, whilst providing drivers on the platform with an earning opportunity.

Uber has endeavored to create multiple economic opportunities that are mutually beneficial to drivers as well as the riders. With the addition of Uber Delivery to its range of services, the company continues to work towards providing convenient mobility solutions, as well as added income possibilities for the drivers, especially during these testing times.
