Gambling Today: Will New Disinfecting Drones Expedite Return of Major Sports?

As the MLB, NHL and NBA all consider a return to action, a New York-based company is offering a solution to keep their stadiums and arena germ-free by spraying disinfectant from drones.

A Syracuse startup called EagleHawk announced that it has developed a drone that can assist in quickly killing the coronavirus. While EagleHawk usually specializes in drones that use thermal cameras to detect roof leaks for government, college, medical and retail buildings, they took a different business approach when the coronavirus pandemic hit the U.S. in March.

The company pivoted and decided to remove the thermal cameras from its drones and replace it with a device that sprays disinfectant.
