Vice Chairman of Hai Chau District People's Committee Truong Thanh Dung said that the use of the flycams supported by the Da Nang Flight Club aims to tighten the monitoring of public compliance with the ongoing ‘stay –at-home’ mandate in alleys.

The drone cameras, or flycams carry out surveillance missions during peak hours, namely 7:00am -9:00am and 4:00pm – 7:00 pm. In particular, they can deploy the monitoring at any time of the day in 13 wards throughout the district at per request by the local authorities.

According to Chairman of Da Nang Flight Club Tran Huu Duc Nhat, images recorded by the drone cameras are transmitted directly to the storage device operated by the Hai Chau District Steering Board for COVID-19 Prevention and Control for analysis and then transferred to the ward-level authorities for promptly handling rule violators.

Secretary of Party cell No 17 in Hoa Thuan Ward, Mr Dong Le Van Y, hailed the deploying of flycams for encouraging the public to more seriously comply with preventive measures against the deadly virus, especially preventing them from leaving their homes and interacting with one another in narrow alleys.
