The ministry further added that the finer particles of the airborne dust may penetrate the lower respiratory tract and enter the bloodstream, where they can affect all internal organs and be responsible for cardiovascular disorders such as paralysiss.
“Protect yourself by staying indoors as much as possible, especially those with co-morbidity; mask up; wear glasses while in town; drink a lot of water to keep hydrated.”
To road users, the ministry urges them to be cautious to prevent accidents due to limited visibility.
