The Office of the Chief Medical Officer is issuing an urgent health advisory in response to the recent spike in maximum temperatures recorded the RLB International Meteorological Office over the past three days:

  • Friday, April 5, 2024: 31.6°C
  • Saturday, April 6, 2024: 31.8°C
  • Sunday, April 7, 2024: 31.4°C

With extremely warm days experiencing temperatures ranging from 31.4°C to 31.8°C, and an expected continuation of this trend through the week, the Office emphasizes the importance of taking immediate precautions to protect against the adverse effects of these high atmospheric temperatures.

Health Tips for the Public:

  1. Stay Indoors: Limit outdoor activities and stay indoors as much as possible, especially
    between the hours of 11:00 am to 2:00 pm, when the sun’s rays are most intense.
  2. Wear Protective Gear: If you must be outside, ensure you wear a hat, use appropriate
    sunscreen, and dress in light, breathable clothing to protect your skin from the sun.
  3. Stay Hydrated: Increase your intake of water throughout the day. Avoid alcohol and caffeine
    as they can lead to dehydration.
  4. Care for Vulnerable Individuals: Those providing care to older adults should ensure their
    environments are well ventilated and cool, both during the day and at night. Monitor them
    closely for signs of heat-related illnesses.

“The recent surge in temperatures presents a significant risk to public health, particularly for the elderly, young children, and those with pre-existing health conditions,” states Dr. Hazel Laws, Chief Medical Officer. “It is crucial that we all take these warnings seriously and follow the recommended precautions to ensure our safety and the safety of our communities during this period of excessive heat.”

The Ministry of Health through the Office of the Chief Medical Officer will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates as necessary. We urge the public to stay informed and adhere to the guidelines issued for their well-being.
