As COVID-19 restrictions ease up across every industry, there is an effort underway in Rochester to redefine cleanliness — an effort led by robots.
According to Brian Hart, CEO of Black-I Environmental, two leading Rochester health care providers in upstate New York recently began sanitizing hospital facilities and outlying clinics with a new breed of cutting-edge, autonomous robots.
"Robots give you a consistency that a human cleaner can't provide," Hart said.
With a growing number of Americans receiving COVID-19 vaccines, the country is slowly returning to a sense of normalcy. But New York's number of new cases is up 64 percent as new variants spread, so the fight against the virus continues.
