Bangkok is in lockdown as pollution levels soar, making the air unsafe to breathe. Schools are closed, and residents are urged to stay indoors.
Schools have shut down, and classes have moved online because the air quality is just too bad. Some areas recorded PM2.5 levels over 144 micrograms, which is way above the safe limit.
Health officials are warning everyone, especially vulnerable groups like kids and the elderly, to stay indoors. If you have to go out, wearing a mask is a must.
The government is urging people to avoid strenuous activities outside and to seek medical help if they feel unwell. They’re also asking folks to use public transport instead of driving to help reduce pollution.
It’s a tough situation, and the locals are doing their best to cope. They’re encouraged to plant more trees to help absorb some of the pollutants. The city is on high alert, and tests will be done regularly to monitor the air quality.
