Dubai does it again! Last week, Dubai used drones to send across the most critical message in the current situation- ‘#StayHome’. This week, the drones are being used to sanitize the city. This also brings with it less manpower and the invention of a brilliant technology to fight the spread of COVID-19.
Dubai Municipality is currently running a massive sterilization program and nooks and corner of the city are sanitized. The program runs until 5 April and we must say, these heroes are doing a great job. The sterilization kicks off with a warning siren at 8:00 pm every night and lasts until 6:00 am, the next morning. Take a look at the pictures
We just can’t be more thankful to those people who tirelessly clean up the city, just so we stay safe.
