From the very first days of summer holidays, children spend more time outdoors, near bodies of water, and travelling. Specialists note that this period sees a noticeable increase in the number of injuries and accidents involving minors. Both adults and children are urged to follow basic safety guidelines: avoid swimming in unsuitable or dangerous locations, stay away from railway tracks, and remain attentive while in open areas. Parents are advised not to leave children unsupervised in potentially hazardous situations. Authorities wish all families a bright and safe summer break.
