Here are a few useful tips for staying healthy this haze season;

  • Use an N95 respiratory mask to filter out airborne particles as surgical masks won’t help much in this situation
  • Wash your hands and face upon reaching home as your skin may be carrying haze particles
  • Minimise outdoor activities and refrain from playing outdoor sports
  • As usual, keep yourselves hydrated by drinking more water

So guys, follow the tips above and stay healthy during this haze season!
