Whether you work outdoors or enjoy your time out with family and friends, avoid exposure to the #sun between 10:00 am and 04:00 pm to the extent possible.

The sun’s #UV rays are the strongest during this time.

#HealthForAll_ByAll
1⃣Seek shade when UV rays are the most intense, but keep in mind that shade structures such as trees, umbrellas or canopies do not offer complete protection.

Remember the shadow rule: “Watch your shadow – Short shadow, seek shade!” Image
2⃣Wear protective clothing:

A hat offers good protection for your eyes, ears, face, and the back or your neck sunglasses that provide 99% - 100% UV-A and UV-B protection will greatly reduce eye damage.

Tightly woven, loose fitting clothes will provide additional protection. Image

#Omicron
“This current trend shows that the #COVID19 pandemic is far from over. We try to forget COVID-19, but the virus has not forgotten us. In fact, it is taking advantage of our complacency to spread and mutate."

- Dr Ahmed Al Mandhari, the WHO Regional Director for @WHOEMRO
Booster doses must be taken when offered as these will help to protect lives, particularly among those most vulnerable, especially the elderly, those with co-morbidities and health workers.
