3 Reasons why eCommerce deliveries are the safest way to get both food and non-food essentials to consumers:
(1) Better to have 350K delivery heroes on the streets across the country than millions of consumers in the markets and malls not maintaining social distancing.
(1) Better to have 350K delivery heroes on the streets across the country than millions of consumers in the markets and malls not maintaining social distancing.
(2) In the past few weeks millions of orders of essentials got delivered but only 1 case of an infected delivery hero has happened. It shows that while things won't be perfect, eCommerce and logistics companies do care a lot and are taking various precautions.
(3) Given the accurate trackability of each delivery hero (present location, residence, delivery path, etc), even in today's unfortunate incident, all potentially affected individuals were identified promptly and quarantined. Can't do that with anonymous spreaders in the markets.
No solution is perfect given we are fighting an invisible enemy. That said, home delivery through eCommerce offers the safest and most trackable way to get food and non-food essentials to consumers in these challenging times. Stay safe! 🙏🏼
