Health authorities urge precautions as heat wave continues

31 Mar 2026 | BY Staff Writer

Health officials have called for adjustments in school and workplace routines to combat the ongoing hot weather, which increases the risk of heat-related illnesses. 


Vulnerable groups like children, the elderly, and those with medical conditions are especially at risk of dehydration, heatstroke, and skin issues.


Authorities recommend scheduling outdoor activities during cooler times early mornings or late evenings—and ensuring indoor spaces are well-ventilated. 


People are advised to stay hydrated by drinking over 2.5 liters of water daily, avoid sugary and alcoholic drinks, and wear protective gear outdoors. 


Motorists should also let parked vehicles cool before entry. Following these precautions is vital to stay safe amid the heat.
