This week, the government has clarified which businesses can stay open during the nationwide lockdown to stem the spread of coronavirus.
In a speech delivered by President Cyril Ramaphosa, he ordered that all non-essential businesses and premises to shut.
That said, restaurants, bars, and food delivery services like Uber Eats and Mr.D will be closed during the national lockdown but some stores like grocery shops and pharmacies will remain open - allowing people to get supplies as they need them. One dinner kit company that will be open during this period is the Daily Dish.
