Oman’s Ministry of Health has issued a warning regarding potential health risks associated with increasingly high summer temperatures. The ministry is actively increasing public awareness campaigns to educate residents and visitors about heat-related illnesses. These illnesses include heat exhaustion and heatstroke, which can be particularly dangerous for vulnerable populations such as the elderly, children, and those with chronic conditions. Authorities advise avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, especially during peak hours, and staying well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water. The public is also encouraged to seek medical attention immediately if experiencing symptoms of heat stress. The warning underscores the importance of preventative measures as the country experiences a sustained period of elevated temperatures.
