The Institute of Public Health (IPH) has issued advisories urging citizens to take necessary precautions for health protection, particularly in response to elevated temperatures and the associated risk of heat stress. These recommendations are issued due to the current pattern of high temperatures across the region. To mitigate risks, the IPH specifically advises limiting direct sun exposure and outdoor activities between 11 a.m.
and 5 p.m., the period when temperatures are expected to reach their peak. When outdoor exposure is unavoidable, individuals are advised to dress in light, breathable clothing and wear protective eyewear and wide-brimmed hats. Furthermore, taking frequent breaks in shaded areas is strongly recommended.
For those remaining indoors, the IPH suggests seeking refuge in spacious and air-conditioned environments. To maintain a cool home setting, residents should close windows during the hottest parts of the day and ensure proper ventilation by airing out the premises in the evening. Beyond activity scheduling, the IPH emphasizes the critical importance of consistent hydration.
Citizens are advised to maintain a regular intake of fluids throughout the day to support the body’s natural cooling processes. Adherence to these guidelines is crucial for minimizing health risks associated with prolonged exposure to high temperatures.
