The 24-hour National Sterilisation Programme in Dubai has been extended for another week.
According to the emirate's Supreme Committee for Crisis & Disaster Management, the decision was taken in light of the success achieved by the initiative.
The 24-hour disinfection drive was launched on April 4 as part of efforts to control the spread of COVID-19.
The move for an extension was based on a careful assessment of the impact of measures in the last two weeks, in coordination with the Command and Control Centre for Combating COVID-19. The committee closely monitored the results of the intensified restrictions on the movement of people and vehicles. These measures accelerated efforts to combat COVID-19, enabled sterilisation operations to be carried out on a larger scale and allowed medical teams to conduct extensive testing in densely populated areas.
Precautionary measures.
The committee stressed on the need for everyone to abide by the instructions and precautionary guidelines outlined by the Ministry of Health and Prevention and the Dubai Health Authority. Each individual should wear a face mask and gloves and keep a safe distance from others in addition to disinfecting their hands regularly with sterilisers or a 20-second handwash with soap and water.
