Messages are being disseminated in various languages such as Arabic, English and Urdu to people from all walks of life to further create awareness about the contagion.
The inspection teams also will be working round the clock to ensure that all residents of the emirate strictly adhere to regulations and preventive measures related to Covid-19. No violations would be tolerated, the police said.
Police urged the public to report any kind of violation related to Covid-19 at 901.
