Those that remain open are only offering takeaways, making food delivery the only way many can enjoy a hot meal they’ve not had time to cook, after a long shift.
Just Eat works with over 35,000 Restaurant Partners and delivers to 95 per cent of UK postcodes, meaning it is well positioned to support the 1.3 million NHS employees across the country.

As the Covid-19 pandemic has progressed, a number of NHS workers have had to self-isolate from their families.
Many have been relocated temporarily to nearby hotels, some of which are without cooking facilities or have closed the hotel restaurant in line with government advice.
Andrew Kenny, UK Managing Director Just Eat said: “Millions of NHS staff are working round the clock to keep us safe, help the most vulnerable and keep this country going.
