Purpose – This is an empirical analysis of the impact of the number of COVID-19 patients on the number of food deliveries, focusing on the mediating effects of social distancing and the national disaster fund, which are key among government countermeasures. Design/Methodology/Approach – It is assumed that the government response such as social distancing and national disaster funds will affect the number of food delivery. This study is based on 10,126 food delivery data in the metropolitan area from August 1, 2019 to April 30, 2021 and main variables are composed of social distancing and national disaster fund Findings – As the number of COVID-19 patients increases, the level of social distancing increases and more national disaster funds are provided. However, it was found that there was no direct correlation between the national disaster fund and the number of delivery food. It was revealed that the social distancing steps indirectly affect the food deliveries and as founded in previous studies, coupons or gift certificates are more effective than direct cash to increase sales of small businesses. Research Implications – Under a national emergency such as COVID-19, all economic activities are slowing down, and the country’s management and fiscal policies should be operated most efficiently. National disaster fund should be designed in advance to meet its purpose, and the most common cash payment may not be the best way for small business owners and self-employed people. In addition, due to the decline of existing commercial zone after Corona 19, it is necessary to focus on the emergence of residential and suburban commercial districts that are easy to deliver. And the growing demand for healthier and fresher food, it is time to improve the diet and service.
