The Boston Red Sox are implementing lots of new safety measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 at Fenway Park ahead of the return of fans next month:
Dramatically reduced seating capacity. Paperless tickets. Sanitizer stations.
Also, robots.
In a press release Tuesday, the Wisconsin-based disinfection technology company Surfacide announced that the Red Sox have bought a team of its “COVID-blasting” robots to help clean Fenway Park during the 2021 season. The trio of 6-foot-5 medical-grade robots — which altogether cost roughly $100,000, according to Surfacide CEO Gunner Lyslo — are designed to kill viruses and other microorganisms by emitting ultraviolet-C (UVC) light.
