A drone was used to deliver groceries for quarantined villagers in eastern China amid a coronavirus outbreak.

The video, captured in the city of Tengzhou in Shandong Province on February 3, shows a bag of instant noodles and some vegetables attached to a drone being flown into the air to deliver to a quarantined family.

Since the family came back from Wuhan where coronavirus originated, they have had to be quarantined for 14 days. So the village decided to use a drone to deliver food for them to prevent the spread of novel coronavirus.

起飞，盘旋！一架无人机吊起方便面和蔬菜，上升到十多米的高空，在飞手的操作下，无人机准确无误到达村民房顶。随后，两名村民解开绳子，领到了食物。平时看着挺新鲜的无人机，如今成了快递员，居家隔离，这安全保障可真是做到位了。
近日，山东滕州，界河镇郑寨村有一户居民从武汉返乡后居家隔离。村干部为减少人员接触，想出用无人机拴绳子“空投”送蔬菜的方法。村支书郑建波称方便面、青菜等是村里免费提供。无人机也是镇里飞防大队提供，此外还用于每天的消毒工作。
