Scots have been allowed to order takeaways and food-to-go from local restaurants and eateries during the coronavirus lockdown.
Good Morning Britain's Dr Hilary revealed the safest way to buy and eat takeout food amid the pandemic.
The medical professional and healthcare expert, who holds a regular stint on the ITV morning show, returned once again to give advice.
Dr Hilary Jones was introduced by Susanna Reid during Wednesday's instalment, where he was tasked with discussing queries from viewers, Birmingham Live reports.
He was asked the risks surrounding purchasing take-away food from local businesses which are still operating.
Despite the coronavirus lockdown, which was enforced by Prime Minister Boris Johnson in mid-March, restaurants can still open for take out services.
And Dr Hilary told Brits some reassuring news on Wednesday's GMB, saying: "Provided you can pick up a takeaway without coming into close contact with somebody else, provided you can still socially distance, picking up food is perfectly OK.
"People have to eat, restaurants have to be kept going.
"So, provided there are no queues, take your food home, take your food out of the packaging, throw the packing away, wash your hands, heat your food up again, and that should be pretty risk free."
Dr Hilary's checklist
DO
- Socially distance and remain at least two metres from people
