🚑 Breaking & Incidents

  1. Winnipeg bajo advertencia de calidad del aire nivel amarillo por humo procedente de incendios forestales en Ontario. Environment and Climate Change Canada señala que vientos del sureste transportan humo desde el noroeste de Ontario y advierte que lactantes, personas de 65 años o más y personas embarazadas pueden enfrentar riesgos de salud aumentados; los síntomas incluyen irritación ocular o de garganta, tos leve y dolores de cabeza. Chris Pascoe, de la University of Manitoba, identificó las partículas finas como la principal preocupación.
  2. Meteorólogo: el humo de incendios forestales debería disiparse pero “esta es la temporada” para Manitoba.
