Spain to unleash swarms of disinfectant-spraying drones to battle coronavirus
are set to release an army of disinfectant spraying drones to battle coronavirus.
Miguel Angel Villarroya, chief of the Defense General Staff, said at a press conference the military aircraft theory was "completely false," and compared the spray to that of "an insecticide in a room in the home". China - where the virus originated - has already used similar means to disinfect streets and buildings, while Spanish army specialists have been disinfecting areas of the country at ground level, using manpower and robots.The new figures and measures point to hope for Spain, which is the third-worst affected country behind the US and Italy.
The skating rink at the Ice Palace - Palacio de Hielo in Spanish - was the first of the three temporary morgues operating at the height of Madrid’s coronavirus crisis to open. Wednesday’s closure will mean only one temporary morgue is still functioning in the Spanish capital, a building designed to be Madrid’s Institute of Forensic Medicine which was never opened.
