Ford factory workers to wear buzzing wristbands to maintain social distancing

Ford factory workers in the US will wear buzzing wristbands to help maintain social distancing, the Bloomberg news agency has reported. Initially, only 12 workers will take part in the experiment wearing the ‘watch-like’ or ‘fitness-like’ wristbands. The devices are supposed to vibrate when employees come within six feet (about 1.8 metres) of each other, a Ford spokesperson told the news agency.
