The Tommy robot does not wear a mask, but like a doctor, it can save the life of the new Corona Virus. It is one of six new robots that can help doctors and nurses deliver the virus to the Circolo Hospital in Varese, Lombardy. The disease is located in the center of Italy, in the north of Lombardy.
