Expo 2020 Dubai has joined forces with Dulsco, ADNH, Emrill, EFS, Farnek, Enova, and Dubai Municipality, to carry out sanitisation activities on-site. They will be using Dubai Health Authority’s approved anti-viral disinfectants for its operations.
This comes after the UAE announced their National Disinfection Programme to combat the COVID-19 virus. The operations cover key areas across the site such as Expo Village, Expedition Park, Expo Dubai South Mall, and participating country pavilions. In order to ensure the sanitisation process is done thoroughly, Expo have employed 1,000 cleaning staff per day.
