Amazon.com Inc said on Tuesday it launched a technology-aided system in some of its facilities to maintain social distancing, called 'Distance Assistant'.
The unveiling comes as the world's largest online retailer faces intensifying scrutiny from U.S. lawmakers and unions over whether it is doing enough to protect staff from the pandemic.Monitors set up in the company's warehouses will highlight workers keeping a safe distance in green circles, while workers who are closer will be highlighted in red circles, Amazon said.
