RIYADH: Head of the General Presidency for Affairs of the Two Holy Mosques in Mecca and Medina, Abdul Rahman Al Sudais, has launched a smart robot to distribute the holy Zamzam water inside both holy places to prevent contact as part of sophisticated efforts to limit the spread of COVID-19.
“Modern technology is increasingly utilised to serve mankind especially amid the coronavirus pandemic, which helps, Allah willing, protect worshippers in the two Holy Mosques,” Al Sudais said on the occasion.
The pre-eminent scholar hailed scientific advances, pointing out that the robot undertakes distribution of Zamzam bottles without coming into contact and without hampering the worshippers’ movements in the two mosques.
