CVS and the United Parcel Service (UPS) will use drones to deliver prescription medication to residents in a Florida retirement community that is under lockdown due to the coronavirus. Starting on May 4th, those living in The Villages will receive their prescriptions from a Matternet's M2 drone. The drones will drop off orders at a designated spot outside of the community and an employee will transport the items to each person's home. The Villages, which is home to some 135,000 people, is the US's largest retirement community and has reported 171 cases and 12 deaths during the pandemic. Scott Price, UPS chief strategy and transformation officer, said: 'Our new drone delivery service will help CVS provide safe and efficient deliveries of medicines to this large retirement community, enabling residents to receive medications without leaving their homes.'
