MONEYGALL, Ireland: Ireland's Manna Aero should have been dropping off its first takeaway orders around a Dublin university campus by drone in March but then the coronavirus pandemic shut the country and its pilot programme down.
Within a week, the drone company was testing out an entirely different concept – delivering medication and critical supplies to isolated elderly people whom the Irish government had told to stay home to avoid infection.
Drone operators from Manna Aero fly the drone as essential household and medical supplies are delivered to the Irish village of Moneygall, following the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) outbreak, in Ireland.
