Mask-wearing robots greet COVID-19 patients in Japan hotels, wish them recovery

Hotels in Japan's Tokyo that have started housing coronavirus patients are using mask-wearing robots to greet the visitors. Named "Pepper", it tells the patients, "Please, wear a mask inside," and, "I hope you recover as quickly as possible." To ease the burden on nurses, Japan is using hotels to house COVID-19 patients whose symptoms are too light to need hospitalisation.
