When translated to English, the tweet reads:
“I met Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed and a number of our ambassadors. We are proud of our diplomats who have shown great efficiency in dealing with the crisis proactively. Majority of our students and citizens abroad returned to the UAE with ease and efficiency. Those who remained abroad for exceptional reasons are receiving the necessary support. The UAE works as one team locally & abroad, and our citizens remain our top priority wherever they are.
Our message to the world: we are stronger when we are united. After this pandemic, the world will need a different kind of health, economic and political cooperation that quickly adapts to crises.”
The Zoom app has experienced tremendous growth since global lockdowns have become enforced and a large population of the world’s work force have been made to work from home.
According to an article by CNBC, “Daily users (of the app spiked to 200 million in March from 10 million in December.”
Do you think that Zoom has made a working from home significantly easier?
