Acknowledging the challenges of the heatwave, the ministry advised the public to double their intake of plain water and avoid caffeinated drinks and hot beverages, which can lead to dehydration.

Taking regular baths is also encouraged to keep the body cool and refreshed throughout the day.
MoH advised the public to pay particular attention to children's health, and ensure they drink water regularly and are shielded from the sun's heat.
