Morrisons has launched a service aimed at ensuring customers who are self-isolating can get a delivery of food to their doorstep.
With coronavirus cases rising, the supermarket chain said it wants "no customer to be left behind".
Its 'doorstep delivery' service will offer all customers who are self-isolating a next-day food delivery between 10am and 6pm.
To complete the order, customers need to ring the doorstep delivery service where they can choose the items for their emergency delivery.
The service was previously only available for elderly and clinically vulnerable people, but now anybody who is self-isolating can take advantage of it.
How to use Morrisons' doorstep delivery service:
- Phone 0345 611 6111 and select option five
- Choose from items across the supermarket, guided by the telesales operator, before placing order
- The delivery is made the following day by a store colleague from their local store, often the store’s Community Champion, who is tasked with helping the community
- Pay for delivery on your doorstep via a mobile chip and pin device
- The delivery charge is £4.50 and £2 for students - there is no delivery charge for elderly and vulnerable people
Students can also contact Morrisons on email students-ug@morrisons.co.uk to place their order.
Anna Lane, Morrisons Local Director, said: "This doorstep service will ensure that more people who can’t leave their home to go shopping will be able to get a delivery of affordable food."
Morrisons will be delivering from more stores in order to extend the service across the country.
