Robots were assigned to examine patients infected with a new virus

The British edition of The Guardian published material stating that the first patient from the United States with

suspected of having coronavirus was examined by a robot, not a person.

The 2019-nCoV virus, which is now being talked aboutworldwide, appears to be a hybrid of snake and bat coronaviruses. This type of virus appeared about two years ago, but only now was it able to enter the human body for the first time. At the moment, there are cases where the coronavirus has spread beyond Chinese cities, including Thailand, Japan, Korea and even the United States. One of these coronavirus suspects was admitted to Everett Hospital in the United States.

George Infectious Disease HeadDiaz said that he personally controlled a robot that examined the patient. In order for the device to bring maximum benefits, it was equipped with a camera, microphone and a stethoscope. It is likely that in the future such a practice will occur more and more often in cases where the contact of living people with patients will have negative consequences for the doctors themselves.
