PHUKET: Phuket Provincial Health Office (PPHO) Chief Thanit Sermkaew this morning (Sept 24) re-issued a health advisory urging people with breathing difficulties, children and the elderly to stay indoors as the haze from Indonesian forest fires continue to affect Phuket.

 

“Although I have not received any reports of people suffering serious health effects arriving at hospitals I have ordered all main government hospitals to have the appropriate equipment prepared to help people,” Chief Thanit said.

 

“People with heart or lung conditions are urged to please be careful. If your chest begins to hurt, or if you develop a headache or it becomes difficult to breath, please see a doctor,” he added.

Didn’t think I would ever say this, but I’m flying to Chiang Mai for some cleaner air!

What's the deal with staying inside? the air that's inside the house /building is the same as outside unless one has a special filtered aircon going 24/7   ????

Wind switching back to traditional westerly monsoon direction next week.  Hopefully the fires will have run their course by then.

Good  job "Chief Wiggum"  I  nor  the hospital would never  have though of that, a  good  "ordering"  is always the way to go.
