It is about McDonald’s reopening 15 of its restaurants in the south tomorrow for delivery only.

El Sol may also reveal that bosses are planning to open more outlets as part of the gradual reopening during the summer.

McDonald’s is opening some, for delivery and then next week, to test how to do it safely.

They want to make sure in trials that car staff, delivery drivers, and customers are not at risk of contracting coronavirus.

Bosses initially focus on delivery and driving lanes, which can be done more safely than customers entering branches.

The Phase 2 driving trial also stretches across the north and Ireland after complaints last week that the 15 for delivery were primarily held in and around London.

You will then decide whether to focus on rollout or push forward, or both more slowly, as part of phases 3 and 4 of your reopening plans.

The fast-food giant’s bosses think having a few restaurants open in a city will make managing demand easier and keeping customers happy.

McDonald’s has already announced the reopening of 15 restaurants tomorrow, May 13, just for delivery orders.

From these branches, customers can only order food from Uber Eats and Just Eat.

You will not be able to click and charge using the My McDonald’s app and the dining areas will be closed to the public.

There is also a limited menu at all reopened restaurants; See the full list of what’s included below.

Branches will be open from 11 a.m. at 10 p.m., meaning there are no breakfast options for the predictable.

The Sun has asked McDonald’s for a complete list of driving locations and we will update this story when we know more.

The driving announcement comes after Environment Secretary George Eustice said the fast-food chain was “made” for social alienation.

McDonald’s restaurants were never specifically told to close, he said during a daily coronavirus update over the weekend.

In a separate update, Prime Minister Boris Johnson changed the UK coronavirus message from “stay home” to “stay alert”.

Crucially for the self-service chains, he said that the British will be able to make trips in their cars starting this Wednesday, May 15.

McDonald’s temporarily closed all 1,350 restaurants on March 23.

Maccies has already announced a new set of measures to keep staff and customers safe when branches are reopened.

For example, workers receive face masks and gloves, and there will be perspex screens in kitchen areas to help maintain social distance.

Staff will also have their temperatures checked before each shift to ensure they are fit for work.

Customers will be asked to pay for their food by card and contactless payments when possible.

Before closing, all the chains had closed the children’s rest areas and soft play areas in an attempt to help stop the spread of the coronavirus.

Fast food chains across the UK have started serving customers again after the closure of COVID-19.

Burger King announced today that an additional 70 branches would be opened for drop shipping and delivery.

Five Guys has also reopened 47 branches in the UK and KFC has reopened around 100 restaurants.

Subway said today that 600 of its restaurants have reopened.
