Entrepreneurs step forward to cater to patients in home quarantine

According to rough estimates, more than 88% of those who have tested positive for COVID-19 are in home quarantine

The sudden surge in COVID-19 cases in the city has meant a spike in the percentage of people in home quarantine. This has sparked off a new business – food catering for those in home quarantine. According to rough estimates, more than 88% of those who have tested positive for COVID-19 are in home quarantine. Entrepreneurs are offering to deliver fresh, home-cooked meals to such patients. Cooking was always a passion for Megha B.K., a resident of Basaveshwaranagar. Following the outbreak of the pandemic, her acquaintances, who live abroad, contacted her and requested her to send meals to their parents in the city. “I began providing breakfast and lunch. Word spread and today, I am packing fresh meals for 10 persons who are in home quarantine in various parts of the city,” she said.
