The UV index value of 3-5 poses a moderate health risk when exposed to sunlight.
Recommendations for population behavior
In this case, the following rules of behavior must be observed:
• Stay in the shade around mid-day when the sun is strongest.
• When outdoors, wear clothing that covers as large a body area as possible, which is cotton or other natural in composition. Such natural materials facilitate the evaporation of sweat, which is the most important mechanism of thermoregulation at high outdoor temperatures. Specifically, the human body releases most of its thermal energy by the evaporation of sweat, and by adequate dressing it prevents overheating, ie heat stroke, which is one of the greatest dangers in periods of high external temperatures.
• Also, wear a wide-brimmed hat to protect your face and eyes, and extra goggles include glasses with UV-blocking glasses.
• Apply to the skin, and especially to the skin of exposed body parts, a thick coat of sunscreen with the SPF 30+ protection factor every 2 hours, even during cloudy periods
• Pay attention to bright surfaces, such as sand and water, which reflect UV rays, or from which surfaces reflect UV rays and thus increase exposure.
