Mobile networks also incorporated the campaign into their displays on mobile phones. When making a call in the UAE, the caller is greeted with a message that says “Dear caller, staying at home keeps you and your loved ones safe from corona,” before being connected to the call.
The UAE Ministry of Health has also launched a national initiative entitled “Together We Fortify the Nation” in a bid to stop the spread of the coronavirus in the Gulf state.
