Dubai: The Dubai Municipality (DM) will conduct a massive 11-day sterilisation campaign covering at least 95 roads across the city beginning early hours of Saturday.

“The intensive disinfection drive will not only cover Dubai’s major roads but will also target the denselypopulated streets as well as the interior lanes in a major bid to curb the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19),” a DM spokesperson told Gulf News on Friday.

The deadly virus, which originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December last year, has so far affected 140 people in the UAE, with 27 reported new cases on Thursday, while 31 patients have fully recovered.

Authorities have assured the public the UAE has a comprehensive health system to protect people and keep coronavirus at bay. The government has also urged the people to observe proper hygiene and practice social distancing to avoid contracting the disease.

DM said they will use the latest technology during the sterilisation drive. They also advised residents to keep off the streets while they are doing the disinfection.
