Abu Dhabi is stepping up precautions in light of the deadly Coronavirus. In line with a massive sterilization drive, the Emirate has also introduced smart gates at bus stations, that will disinfect people as they walk by. Similar systems will soon be in installed across all bus stations in the capital.
This hi tech sanitisation system will help keep these enclosed spaces safe from the deadly spread of Covid 19. The disinfectant system will be regularly sterilised from 6 AM to 8 AM everyday. A similar system has been installed in ambulances in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, to help paramedics and emergency cases.
Self Sanitation Walk In Dubai
Meanwhile, Dubai is doing its bit to safe guard the residents. The Dubai Corporation for Ambulance Services introduced a new Self Sanitation Walk in ambulances and clinics. The service is launched in order to help paramedics fight off all kinds of infections. The sanitisation system scans clothing, gloves and masks for any germs, thereby protecting the front-liners who are directly exposed to Covid 19 patients. This, in turn helps health workers preform their duties with a high level of safety and efficiency.
