Book delivery — The virus can stay alive on various surfaces for up to 3 days – therefore the bags were packed by workers after disinfecting their hands and minimising interaction with the study parcels. The principal and director of DPS Dubai, Rashmi Nandkeolyar, explained the move: “We understand that social isolation is one of the most effective means to contain the spread of the coronavirus. We will do our best to support the UAE government’s efforts in this regard. Besides, the health of our parents and students is of utmost importance to us. This is our innovative way to ensure convenience and good health.” Image Credit: Supplied
