Quest Diagnostics and Walmart Teaming Up to Test Drone Delivery of COVID-19 Test Kits
The coronavirus pandemic has inspired numerous surprising business combinations. The latest such collaboration is between Quest Diagnostics (NYSE: DGX) and Walmart (NYSE: WMT), which will join forces with privately held specialist DroneUp to test a program that uses drones to deliver COVID-19 tests to customers.
The pilot program, announced Tuesday, will take place in North Las Vegas. Drones will take off with their payloads of COVID-19 diagnostic kits from the Walmart located there, to be delivered to single-family homes within a one-mile radius of the store.
