COVID-19 has really affected the globe, but especially in Asia. A cruise ship in Japan was under quarantine for 2-3 weeks. It finally set sail, and was rejected by several countries, and remained at sea for another 2 weeks. Cambodia just recently allowed it to come ashore. The US President sent a personal note thanking Cambodia, on behalf of the US citizens aboard.

During the time in Japan, drones were used to deliver beer, wine, and other beverages to passengers. All passengers were restricted to their rooms. The crew also called passengers, and told jokes, and read the newspaper to them.

Sorry, I don't have a direct link....the drone delivery story was mentioned in many other articles anecdotally.
