BEIJING -- China's Antwork drone delivery startup entered the medical supplies niche in time to help some hospitals respond to the developing coronavirus emergency.

What began as a suburban postal service has been around since 2015. A year later and along with China Post it became the country's first drone delivery service, carrying parcels to suburbanites at home.
