Free delivery will also apply to all orders placed throughout May.

"The first weekend of food deliveries has seen a tremendous amount of excitement from customers, with the top three most ordered items on the Uber Eats app including chicken wings, pizza and hot dogs," said Uber Eats in a statement.

For those who are still committed to their health goals even amid the pandemic, Uber Eats says it's all about the bowls. Popular orders include chicken noodle soup, poke bowls, burrito bowls and nacho bowls.

"During the lockdown, Pinterest boards and food bloggers have seen a surge in followers, with many locals looking for made-at-home takeaway-style recipes. With the easing of restrictions, Uber Eats is back on duty, which means that customers can now look forward to hanging up that apron and taking a much-needed break from cooking meals every night."

The company states that safety remains a top priority. Since the outbreak, delivery people have received sanitiser and mask reimbursement​s​ and Uber has issued information and guidance which include helpful tips to app users on fighting the virus.

"Uber Eats remains committed to working with restaurant partners, government agencies, and communities at large to keep people safe and fed," the company said.
