A statement from the company said all restaurants across the UK and Ireland will close seating areas and temporarily move to being takeaway and delivery operations only, reports The Mirror.

All McDelivery orders via Uber Eats and Just Eat will from now on be contact-free, the company's statement continued.

There will be "no physical contact between customers, employees and couriers wherever possible."
