South Africa uses drone and AI software for social distancing - DroneDJ

In the midst of South Africa's five-week extended lockdown, footage has emerged of a drone collecting data and enforcing social distancing. It offers a fascinating first-person view of AI-based software in action and yet another example of drones fighting against COVID-19. The footage comes from local South African publication Sowetan Live. A mayor within the largely rural Limpopo Province of South Africa has employed drone technology to monitor social distancing and enforce lockdown rules. Similar to implementations in other countries, this drone uses a public address system.
