The dust from North Africa has returned to Portugal, causing concern among health authorities. The Directorate-General for Health issued an alert to the population due to the deterioration of air quality in the country.
The DGS alert aims to inform citizens about the precautions to take during this phenomenon. The concentration of particles in the air is high, which poses risks to public health.
The Directorate-General for Health recommends that vulnerable groups, such as the elderly, children, and people with respiratory diseases, should stay home during this period. These people are more susceptible to the negative effects of poor air quality.
Health authorities call on the population to take the necessary precautions and follow official information on the evolution of the situation.
