Caution against heatstroke

Heatstroke is a condition in which the body's heat regulating mechanism does not work properly due to being in a hot and humid environment, and heat builds up inside the body. 

It can occur not only outdoors but also indoors when you’re not doing anything, and in some cases can be fatal.

Let’s learn correct information about heatstroke, pay attention to any changes in your physical condition, and be mindful of your surroundings to prevent the health damage caused by heatstroke.
