Now that many more people are depending on online ordering services, it has never seemed like a more perfect time to push forward with drone deliveries. For food, clothing, medical supplies, and much more, there are many ways that drones might be able to benefit the community and work to deliver necessary and life-saving items. 

Various drone projects around the world are already underway. From pizza delivery drones to underwater drones, taxi flying drones, and more, there are many industries that this technology is looking to make its way into. 

And now, a [Drone Delivery Canada](https://finance.yahoo.com/news/drone-delivery-canada-announces-plans-201200723.html) company is looking to be one of the first to make headway in this space. They will be looking to accelerate their drone delivery plans in the region and they've asked healthcare workers to help them understand potential [drone delivery healthcare cases](https://www.suasnews.com/2020/03/drone-delivery-canada-reaches-out-to-healthcare-industry-for-covid-19-related-drone-delivery-cases/) that they might be able to help with.

# Soon, they will be looking to start commercial testing their Condor drone, which has a capability to lift 400lbs and travel about 200km. 
<center></center>They have designed the Condor to be able to successfully transport at least 20 cubic feet of cargo. They will be looking to start testing the device in Alberta, Canada. 

> "With the COVID-19 situation, interested customers have asked us to fast-track the commercialization process which we are now doing.  The capabilities of the Condor simply address many social and economic use-cases being requested by DDC's customers. Drone delivery is also an ideal solution for limiting person-to-person contact in the current pandemic situation.  These requests are happening globally," -  [M. Zahra, President and CEO](https://www.newswire.ca/news-releases/drone-delivery-canada-announces-plans-to-accelerate-commercial-testing-of-its-heavy-lift-long-range-cargo-delivery-drone-the-condor-862427941.html).  

For any organizations that might be working in healthcare and other related industries, that might know of a use case for the Condor, they've been encouraged to contact DDC and their local government official to voice support for their efforts. 

Already we have seen that drones around the world have been delivering blood samples and other medical supplies and tools, their contribution to the healthcare industry alone could be very significant, as it is expected to be with many others.
