Military-developed robot sent to Bac Giang to support COVID-19 fight

 A medical robot manufactured by the Military Technology Academy to support COVID-19 prevention and control activities was sent to the current largest pandemic hot spot in the northern province of Bac Giang on June 1.

The robot, called “Vibot,” is the result of a scientific research project conducted by the academy since April 2020.

It has been piloted in Bac Thang Long Hospital and the second facility of Bac Mai Hospital with positive results.

In Bac Giang, Vibot will take the charge of transporting food, medicine, necessities and other stuff from outside to patient rooms, taking trash from the rooms to garbage collection areas, and serving remote conversations between the patients and their family members./.

Central Vietnam hit by torrential rains till late October

The deluge stems from a combination of atmospheric factors, including a low-altitude cold air mass, a northward movement of the intertropical convergence zone and humid easterly winds at elevations between 1,500m and 5,000m, NCHMF Director Assoc. Prof Mai Van Khiem said, adding that this configuration is a classic driver of prolonged, high-intensity rainfall in the region.
