The Ministry of Health stressed the need not to be exposed to cold air currents directly and to avoid a sudden transition from warm to cold weather and vice versa, noting the importance of preserving breathing through the nose, because it is considered a natural air filter, and air enters the chest at body temperature..
And she called on the citizens not to leave the house on days when storms and dust spread, except for force majeure and when needed, provided that the nose is covered and heavy clothes are worn.
She said that there are three categories that are most vulnerable to some health problems in this weather, explaining that they are allergy sufferers, those with respiratory diseases, and heart and diabetes patients.
The Ministry confirmed that these groups are the most vulnerable to being affected by the dust wave and weather fluctuations, and when going out, wear a mask well to avoid any dust entering the body, noting that this weather increases the chances of pneumonia and bronchitis.
