In the bid to increase public awareness under the ongoing countrywide lockdown, the Rwanda National Police (RNP) has began flying drones in neighborhoods with automated megaphones.
The drones fly in close range to allow people to hear recorded messages from the loudhailers. “We have added drones to our methods of raising awareness about COVID-19,” RNP announced.
“As drones pass your neighborhoods, we ask you to listen carefully to the message. Don’t leave your home to view the drones,” RNP added.
Anticipating drones might attract the attention of the curious folks who have never seen a drone, the Rwanda National Police advised the public not to mind the drones.
The Police said: "Don’t gather in large groups when drones deliver messages, Stay Home, protect your life and that of others, Save lives."
