China is deploying robots to tackle coronavirus (COVID-19) which is spreading across the country in a big way. The development came to light when a leading media channel put up a video with the caption: Robots are taking over the disinfection work and expected to be put into use in factories and other public indoor spaces in different cities of China.

The video shows the robot spraying to reduce the transmission of COVID-19 in highly populated zones. Netizens have hailed the Chinese move to fight the epidemic in this innovative way. A social media user wrote: Robots are taking over! The only job left for humans is elder care; even the robots won't do it.

Another post read: Interesting how China already had these disinfectant robots at the ready, hummmmmm. Makes one wonder. 

Death toll in China due to coronavirus touched 2,236 with confirmed positive cases of 75,465.
