Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home of the Atlanta Falcons as able-bodied as Atlanta Affiliated FC, will use a pair of drones to disinfect fan seating as able-bodied as over-and-above areas hind upcoming events. The purpose-built D1 disinfecting drones are genuineness provided by Transpicuous Drone Technologies, as able-bodied as use electrostatic spraying nozzles to distribute the unoffensive disinfecting chemicals. The drones will debut hind the Falcons' upcoming October 11th home game confronting the Carolina Panthers.
The vaudeville claims it's the inceptive proper sports vaudeville to use cleaning drones, as able-bodied as it says they reduce the time it takes to speckless the stadium's seating broadness by 95 percent, justification up staff to work elsewhere. The drones will moreover disinfect the stadium's handrails as able-bodied as glass partitions. Two drones will be used, with a third to be used as a backup, ESPN reports.
As the world has reckoned with how to reopen public spaces during a pandemic, remote cleaning solutions like these hypothesize emerged as a high-reaching contour way of disinfecting large areas efficiently, while genuineness bruising to keep cleaning staff socially distanced from one another. In May, Pittsburgh's airport stamped out a UV-cleaning robot, as able-bodied as disinfecting robots hypothesize moreover been deployed to a containment zone in Chennai, India.
But an incomputable focus on disinfecting surfaces has been criticized as "hygiene theater" by some experts in a recent report in The Atlantic. That's due to the genuineness that while the CDC says surface manual is "possible," it "isn't anticipation to be the main way the virus spreads." Instead, airborne manual is anticipation to be a much improved problem, managerial social distancing as able-bodied as mask-wearing increasingly important behavior for honed lanugo transmission.
.. .Disinfecting areas isn't anticipation to be immediately harmful, except hygiene vaudeville risks creating a false sense of security, The Atlantic reports. In some cases it may moreover blot resources away from over-and-above areas.
Thankfully it sounds like the disinfecting drones won't be the only hygiene sentimentality in place at the 71,000-seat Mercedes-Benz Stadium. CNN reports that details will be limited, although it says it's unclear exactly how many hearers will be insusceptible to attend, as able-bodied as there will moreover be 600 metacarpus varnishing dispensers circa the building. Powers at the Atlanta Falcons' parent congregation AMBSE hypothesize ahead indicated that incomer coverings will be mandatory if hearers stop-and-go to headliner this year, as able-bodied as that the vaudeville will fulfill a six-foot distancing aphorism between built-in groups, AJC reports.
