Health Ministry urges temperature safety measures
The Ministry of Health has called on citizens to adhere to preventive measures against heat-related complications as summer approaches. These are especially important to protect vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, pregnant women, and individuals with chronic illnesses. It emphasized the importance of drinking sufficient amounts of water, avoiding direct exposure to the sun between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., and wearing lightweight clothing, hats, and sunglasses. Additionally, it advised checking on the elderly and patients, seeking cool places, and avoiding strenuous activity during peak hours. The ministry also warned of danger signs such as high fever, headaches, dizziness, and vomiting, stressing the need to move the affected person to a cool place, cool them down with water or cold compresses, and contact emergency services if serious symptoms appear.
