Police officers use a drone to control people on the 'Promenade des Anglais' in the French Riviera city of Nice, on March 19, 2020, on the third day of a strict lockdown in France to stop the spread of Covid-19. — AFP

NICE, France: The rare person venturing onto deserted beaches below the palm-fringed Promenade des Anglais along the Nice seafront will hear a coronavirus health warning from above, blared from a drone: “Keep a safe distance of at least one metre between people.”

Police in the French Riviera city have teamed up with a private drone operator. Soon a second drone may be deployed further along the coast, in Cannes.
