Head of the Regional Health Office (Daker) of Mekah, Nurul Jamal, urges several things that must be considered by the pilgrims when engaging in activities amidst the hot weather of Mekah.

"First, do not forget to bring and use personal protective equipment (PPE), such as umbrella, hat, glasses, and mask when engaging in outdoor activities during the day," said Jamal. Second, drink enough water. "Do not wait until you are thirsty. Drink as often as possible. If necessary, drink oral rehydration solution to quickly replace electrolytes," he added.

Third, bring a water spray when doing activities outside. Use it to moisten parts of the body exposed to direct sunlight. "Fourth, this is also important, do not overdo activities, especially walking during the day. For example, do not force yourself to perform Umrah during the day. It can have fatal consequences if forced," said Jamal.

"Previously, Minister of Religious Affairs (Menag) Yaqut Cholil Qoumas urged the Hajj pilgrims to take care of their health. Because, the weather in the Holy Land is estimated to be very hot up to 50 degrees Celsius. "The weather is very hot. Today, it's 40 degrees. This is not the peak yet. A few days ago, the Minister of Hajj and Umrah of Saudi Arabia stated that the temperature in Saudi Arabia during the peak of Hajj can reach 48 to 50 degrees," said Yaqut, on Wednesday, May 8, 2024."

He urged the pilgrims to take care of their health and physical fitness. Because, Hajj is a physical worship. Pilgrims are advised to get enough rest before departing to Saudi Arabia.

"I ask the hajj pilgrims to prepare their physical well-being as best as possible. Hajj is a physical worship. Prepare your best physical condition. Don't push yourself too hard. Eat nutritious food, vitamins. This will help the pilgrims in maintaining their stamina,"
The word Yaqut.
