As Jamaica begins its recovery from the effects of Hurricane Beryl, the Ministry of Health & Wellness is advising the public to observe the following health tips:
• Do not go outside until absolutely necessary.
• Wear water boots or closed shoes.
• Wear gloves when clearing debris or disposing of dirty water.
• If you get a puncture wound, such as a nail stick or a cut, and you have not been immunized in the last 10 years, seek medical attention immediately.
• Do not allow children to play in the water outside.
• Ensure that bleach, kerosene and other harmful chemicals are properly labeled and kept out of the reach of children.
We encourage all Jamaicans to remain safe.
