The novel coronavirus has sent the entire world in turmoil. It has been rightly called the black swan of 2020. Probably, for the first time, an epidemic has made the world\u2019s economy come to a halt.

Countries like India and China are using drones to enforce lockdowns and for aerial disinfection of high-risk areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many drones startups have extended their support to government agencies in this fight. For example, a startup called FlytBase is giving their FlytNow Pro for free to those who are at the forefront of this battle. FlytNow is a cloud-based solution that allows drone operators to control and manage a large fleet of drones<\/a> by leveraging 4G\/5G connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now coming to the question of how drones can fight this outbreak. Here are five ways drones can be useful:<\/p>\n\n\n\n5 WAYS DRONE COULD HELP FIGHT COVID-19<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
