Coronavirus: Dubai authorities sanitize metro, taxis during weekend campaign
Dubai authorities focused the second night of a nationwide disinfection campaign to sanitize the metro, taxis, buses and trams, videos posted by the Dubai Media Office show.
“Starting now... the National Disinfection Program embarks on a complete sterilization drive of all public utilities, public transport, and metro services in the #UAE from 8 pm to 6 am. #StayHome,” the Dubai Media Office tweeted at 8 pm at the start of the nighttime curfew.
During the weekend’s campaign, public transport will be suspended overnight, and movement would be restricted.
