The National Center for Disease Control and Public Health is issuing recommendations to citizens

According to the Ministry of Health of Georgia, the National Center for Disease Control and Public Health is issuing recommendations to citizens regarding the hot days of summer.

According to the center, during periods of high temperatures, it is advisable to refrain from moving around on the streets during the hottest hours of the day.

“Specialists urge the population to drink enough water and advise them to avoid consuming alcohol, sweet and caffeinated beverages. It is also recommended to refrain from high-intensity physical activity and transfer it to a cooler part of the day - in the morning hours. The Center for Disease Control strictly warns parents and pet owners that it is unacceptable to leave children and animals in a parked car, as high temperatures pose a serious threat to their health and life. When going out, it is recommended to wear light-colored, loose and natural fabric clothing, as well as to use a hat, umbrella and sunglasses. It is important to maintain coolness in living spaces, and ventilate rooms at night and in the morning hours. Heat waves and high temperatures remain one of the main challenges for public health. Against the backdrop of climate change, the frequency and duration of high temperature episodes are also increasing in Georgia, which contributes to the spread of temperature-sensitive diseases, as well as the exacerbation of chronic non-communicable diseases,” the Ministry of Health says.
