Drone Delivery Canada is reaching out to the healthcare industry for use case applications for drone deliveries related to COVID-19.

The Toronto-based company, which has been designated an essential workplace by the Ontario Provincial Government, seeks use cases from health care organizations (hospitals, seniors’ homes, medical labs and related organizations).

If organizations in healthcare and related industries have a use case, they should reach out immediately to DDC at covid19@dronedeliverycanada.com and also contact their local government official to support their use case.

“In the news we are seeing COVID-19 related drone applications around the world, and Canada can particularly benefit from having DDC, a drone logistics leader, in its own backyard,” said Michael Zahra, president and CEO of DDC. “The current situation is an ideal use-case for our proven drone logistics solution to: limit person-to-person contact; bring needed medical and pharmaceutical supplies to Aboriginal, remote, rural and suburban communities; transport blood samples to laboratories for testing and deliver other relevant supplies needed for Canada to effectively manage the current situation.”
