AIR QUALITY ALERT — LEVEL 3
Quezon City | September 1, 2026

The Quezon City Medical Society (QCMS) reminds all QCitizens and our fellow healthcare professionals to take extra precautions as Quezon City remains under Air Quality Alert Level 3, with air quality ranging from Very Unhealthy to Acutely Unhealthy.

Please remember:
• Limit outdoor activities, especially strenuous exercise.
• Avoid unnecessary exposure to outdoor air.
• Wear a well-fitting face mask when going outside.
• Children, older adults, pregnant individuals, and those with respiratory or heart conditions should take extra precautions.

For our doctors: Please remain vigilant for patients with cough, wheezing, difficulty breathing, chest discomfort, or worsening of existing respiratory conditions.

The current haze may be partly associated with smoke from forest fires in Kalimantan, Indonesia.

Stay safe, stay informed, and monitor official advisories.

TAG-ULAN NA, QCitizens! Mag-ingat sa Leptospirosis.

Kasabay ng tag-ulan ang pagtaas ng panganib ng leptospirosis, isang sakit na maaaring makuha mula sa tubig-bahang kontaminado ng ihi ng daga.

Hangga’t maaari, iwasang lumusong sa baha. Kung hindi ito maiiwasan, magsuot ng bota o anumang proteksyon sa paa, hugasan agad ang katawan gamit ang malinis na tubig at sabon, at linisin at takpan ang anumang sugat o gasgas.

⚠️ Magpatingin agad sa doktor kung ilang araw matapos malusong sa baha ay makaranas ng:�• Lagnat�• Matinding pananakit ng kalamnan�• Sakit ng ulo�• Panginginig�• Pagtatae�• Pamumula ng mata o paninilaw ng balat

Ang maagang pagpapatingin at tamang gamutan ang susi upang maiwasan ang malubhang komplikasyon ng leptospirosis.
Maging handa. Maging ligtas. Alagaan ang sarili at ang pamilya ngayong tag-ulan.
