With the number of coronavirus cases increasing daily, more people taking their social distancing up a notch with strict stay-at-home orders. While you can still take trips to the grocery store to fill your pantry with household essentials, ordering takeout is also an option that many of us are using these days.

Although most restaurants and fast food chains recently closed their dining rooms, lots of locations are still offering curbside pick-up and free, contactless delivery. That way, everyone can stay safe and healthy. Select restaurants are also offering special deals for health care workers on the frontlines and parents who need to feed their kids while schools are out of session.

To be clear, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says the coronavirus is spread from person to person mainly through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person sneezes or coughs in close proximity to someone else, not via food consumption. So, while it's safe to order from restaurants following strict sanitization procedures, it's important to do what's best for you and your family.

We've gathered a list of fast food chains and restaurants currently offering deals and discounts during the coronavirus outbreak. Given the rapidly changing pace of the COVID-19 outbreak, call your local chain to get the most up-to-date info on closings, hour changes, and more.
