The Emirate of Sharjah continued its sterilisation operations throughout the Emirate as part of the national sterilisation programme against the Covid-19 virus, in cooperation with the Sharjah Municipality, Sharjah Police, Sharjah Civil Defence and Beeah, the flagship environment company of the Emirate.

As many as 300 mechanism have been deployed as part of the Emirate’s sterilisation campaign, with a force of more than 500 workers taking part in the drive, sanitising all major streets and commercial, industrial and residential areas in the various regions of the Emirate.

Sharjah's sterilisation operations are strongly supported by Bee'ah’s use of the latest environmentally-friendly and sustainable disinfection methods, spraying the air, ground and surfaces from a height of 40 to 50 metres, as protective measures against the global pandemic.

During the sterilisation campaign, people in the Emirate presented a united front with both the citizens and residents, offering full solidarity with the authorities’ efforts and observing the government instructions to stay home to confront the threat of Covid-19.

 The roads across the Emirate wore a deserted look during the sterilisation with shops and malls being closed.  Both citizens and expatriates thanked and lauded the efforts by the authorities to combat the disease and protect the safety and wellbeing of the residents.  Many of them stood on the balconies of their apartments to greet and thank the teams engaged in sterilisation operations and express their love and support for the UAE.

Meanwhile senior Sharjah government officials thanked His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohamed Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, for his continuous support to all organisations and entities of the Emirate in participating in the sterilisation operations against the Covid-19 and for his continuous follow-up and guidance in the war on this disease.

The authorities reaffirmed their commitment and dedication in the war on the global pandemic and limit its spread through the ongoing nightly sterilisation and disinfection campaigns. They called on all UAE residents to stay in their homes for their own safety and support the country’s efforts against this challenge.

Major General Saif Al-Zari Al Shamsi, Commander-in-Chief of Sharjah Police, stressed the police’s keenness to support the Emirate’s efforts in the sterilisation operations mobilising all police patrols and resources in various regions and cities of the Emirate to secure all work sites and maintain the health and safety of the individuals who perform the operation.

Participating in sterilisation operations is a national duty to support the efforts of the United Arab Emirates in dealing with the epidemic and protecting the safety of society in general, he added.

HE Thabet Al Tarifi, Director General of Sharjah Municipality stressed that the joint work carried out by the municipality with the partners reflects the solidarity of efforts of all parties for the health and safety of all members of society.

Colonel Sami Khamis Al Naqbi, Director General of Sharjah Civil Defence, emphasised that Sharjah Civil Defence teams are using all resources and tools at their disposal to preserve the safety of society and protect it from dangers like the Coronavirus which poses a threat to people's lives and threatens the safety of their safety.

The Department is strengthening its capabilities to conduct sterilisation operations using high-quality equipment and materials approved by the Ministry of Health to support the efforts of the Emirate against the disease.

HE Khaled Al Harmil, CEO of Bee'ah Group, reaffirmed the company's commitment to supporting the efforts of the national sterilisation programme and confront the global pandemic. He urged members of society to maintain the cleanliness of the Emirate and the country in order to protect the environment.

"Under the guidance of our wise leadership, Bee’ah uses the advanced cleaning equipment and technology to sterilise the streets of Sharjah and its public facilities. We have more than 1,200 vehicles and 7,000 workers in Bee'ah, and we all work hand in hand and unite all our energies and resources to sterilise the Emirate in partnership with the relevant authorities to overcome this health crisis.
