The Ministry of Environment in collaboration with Northern Health has issued a dust advisory for Quesnel because of high concentrations of dust that are expected to persist until Thursday.
Avoid strenuous outdoor activities. Staying indoors with windows and doors closed
helps to reduce exposure.
Exposure is particularly a concern for infants, the elderly and those who have underlying medical conditions such as breathing or lung conditions, hay fever,
asthma or persons who react strongly to dust. If you are experiencing symptoms
such as continuing eye or throat irritation, chest discomfort, shortness of breath,
cough or wheeze, follow the advice of your health care provider.
