In late March, Tunisia made headlines by deploying a "robocop" to help enforce the virus lockdown in the capital of Tunis. At that time the interior ministry confirmed it deployed a four-wheeled robot that harasses people if they're violating the strict public health orders to shelter-at-home.

Though that earlier method which resulted in bizarre dystopic scenes of a robot interrogating random citizens evoked widespread mockery and anger on the internet, it seems authorities were unfazed, as days ago the Tunisian Army actually deployed a military helicopter against a group of young people playing a pick-up game of soccer.

Despite Tunisia currently only having 685 confirmed COVID-19 cases, including 28 deaths - perhaps due to early drastic strict lockdown measures - the country has maintained a state essentially close to martial law.

Tunisia's President Kais Saied as early as March 23rd ordered the army into the streets to curb the spread of coronavirus, Reuters reported previously.

Esquire Middle East reported Sunday while featuring the new video: "However, despite the measures, some people have not been taking it seriously enough. According to a journalist based in Tunisia, a big crowd of people playing football together were in for a rude awakening."
