Restrictions on movement
He added that the police is monitoring violators moving around restrictions in Dubai during the sterilisation programme by using latest technology, including artificial intelligence.

“Dubai Police has posted pictures of violators who are not appreciating efforts of controlling the spread. All reckless residents will be held accountable.”
Lt Gen Al Merri, said that Naif area is one of the most densely populated areas in Dubai, but police have taken precautionary measures to prevent the spread of the virus.
