COVID-19: Dubai deploys drones for mass sanitation

With Coronavirus leaving several nations across the world in a state of panic, the government of all nations are devising different strategies to iron-out this pandemic; Dubai also happens to be one of them.
According to the news reports, Dubai had earlier made use of drones to convey to its citizens to stay at home in order to stop the spread of this virus. However, Dubai has now progressed to deploying drones to sanitise each and every corner of the city. It is a smart move to use drones for sanitation work and a sane way to check the spread of infection.

Reportedly, the Dubai municipality is on a far-reaching sterilization program until April 5. The sterilization work starts with a warning siren at 8 PM every night and ends at 6 AM the following morning.

Meanwhile, Dubai is on the tenterhooks about organising its highly-awaited Expo 2020. A conference call is due to be held next week and any decision shall be taken by the member states of the Paris-based International Bureau of Expositions, which presides over the event.

The government and businesses have spent ample money in building hotels and facilities for the millions of visitors that are expected to arrive. But now that COVID-19 has spread throughout the UAE including Dubai, the government has shut all the city airports and asked the residents to stay indoors.
