Whataburger is offering a buy-one-get-one deal on burgers.

Starting Wednesday, customers who place their burger orders online can get a second one for free. The offer is an online exclusive and is available through April 19, a news release says.

Customers can customize their orders and pick them up curbside at participating locations.

To place orders, customers must sign into their existing Whatabuger accounts or start one by downloading the restaurant's free app.

During the stay-at-home orders, many restaurants have offered deals for to-go orders.

In a Washington Post article answering questions regarding the risks of restaurant takeout and delivery, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says there's no evidence the virus can be transmitted through food. Experts said the best way to minimize risks while supporting local restaurants is to go with one "you know and trust," according to the Washington Post article.

PolitiFact also reported take-out options are generally safe, but precautions like hand-washing and not touching your face should be taken and interaction with employees should be limited.
