Slaes pointed out Dubai Customs took a number of precautionary measures and steps to ensure the safety of inspection officers while doing their job. These included the sterilization of all the trucks passing through Hatta Border Crossing.
Earlier, Dubai Customs had sterilized all its buildings and customs centers and facilities.
