In recent days, the Air Quality index in Kanifing Municipality and the West Coast Region has been reaching alarming levels, predominantly in areas like Bijilo, Bakoteh, Gunjur, and Brikama. Breathing this polluted air can have detrimental effects on our health, including respiratory problems, allergies, and even heart issues.
The ministry of Health advises that you protect yourself and your loved ones, by following a few steps you should consider:
Staying indoors as much as possible, especially those with Co-morbidity
Mask up and Wear glasses while in town
Drink a lot of water to keep hydrated
Keep your doors and windows closed to prevent dirty outdoor air from entering your homes.
Remember, your health is precious, and taking simple precautions can go a long way in mitigating the harmful effects of poor air quality. Let’s take care of ourselves and each other by sharing this message and spreading awareness about this critical issue.
