Health Authorities Issue Heat Precaution Advisory

Date:

The health sector has issued a public advisory urging precautionary measures due to the current high temperatures affecting the country.

Patients undergoing surgery and adults with non-communicable diseases should avoid extreme heat and stay hydrated.

Children, who are particularly vulnerable due to their high water composition, should drink unsweetened fruit juice or clean water. They should also avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures, wear lightweight white clothing, and opt for long sleeves when exposed to the sun.

If feeling faint or excessively tired, seek shade immediately and consult a healthcare professional if symptoms persist.

Authorities emphasize that preventive measures are crucial to avoiding heat-related complications during this period.
