Bilbao City Council recommends that citizens reduce long outdoor stays due to the presence of Saharan dust in the air. Suspended particles have increased in the city.

In a statement, the City Council has indicated that the recommendation is addressed to all citizens, but focuses on special care for the most vulnerable groups, such as people with chronic respiratory disorders, cardiovascular disease or diabetes, as well as children and the elderly.

Among the measures proposed, the City Council recommends avoiding activities involving physical exercise or outdoor effort, especially at noon, when the concentration of particles may be higher.

It also recommends using public transport as far as possible, avoiding contact with dust, pollen or animals that may cause allergies and aggravating symptoms associated with air pollution.

The City Council has indicated that these recommendations will be maintained until weather conditions change and the presence of suspended particles in the air is reduced.
