Tunisia-Video: Tunisia deploys robots to enforce imposed lockdown

Tunisia has deployed robots to enforce the country’s lockdown and help prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

In a series of videos that have been widely shared on social media, Tunisians have been approached by remote-controlled vehicles asking if they’re aware of lockdown rules.

According to one of the videos, which is akin to a scene from a sci-fi movie, a man is confronted by one of the robots as he steps onto an empty street in the capital Tunis.

The robot castigates the man, asking: “Are you aware of the lockdown?” and demands to know where he is going.

After he explains that he is going to buy cigarettes, the robot tells him to “go get your smokes and go home. Hurry up!”
