Such measures have been criticised by disease specialists as a health hazard as well as a waste of time and resources.

A drone dispersed clouds of disinfectant in the sky above Indonesia's second-largest city Surabaya on Tuesday, a response to the coronavirus pandemic which is catching on around the world despite warnings from health experts.

"I don't believe it adds anything to the response and could be toxic on people. The virus does not survive for long in the environment and people do not generally touch the ground." People can also become infected by contacting something contaminated before touching their own nose, mouth or eyes."Using a drone is very effective, it can disinfect everywhere, including the rooftop. If it is done manually , all they can reach is the top of the fence," he said.

But images of plumes of disinfectant spray fired from trucks into the air or from spray guns on to roads have riled health experts.

Typical of malaysiakini to instigate hate in time of MCO for anwaribrahim 's dirty politics to attack AzminAli team. Why dont you idiots read below what countries like Italy, China, Iran & S.Korea did before you create propaganda on Malaysian UiTM

So stupid. If whatever medicine they are spraying everywhere can kill Corvid-19 virus, then why are they not using that medicine to save Corvid-19 victims? And this is some more proof Malay-Islamofascists appointed by the Agong as PM and Ministers are wasting Rakyat's tax-money.

Seriously I don’t understand why a minister needs to disinfect some places herself? Act for media mileage or killing your time since there isn’t much to do in your ministry? We have one more minister asking to be a Doremon! What’s going on Perikatan Nasional!
