MAKASSAR – A group of drone enthusiasts in Indonesia are using their aerial skills to help during the pandemic by providing a contactless medicine and food delivery service to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients isolating at home.
Armed with five drones, the seven-member team has been working around the clock in this city since early July to provide deliveries.
The Makassar Recover Drone Medic team works with the local COVID task force to deliver medicine at least five times a day, said its founder and coordinator, Muhammad Dasysyara Dahyar.
During the peak of the latest outbreak in July, they made up to 25 rounds of deliveries in one day.(Reuters)
