Migrant workers likely suffered from heatstroke before fainting

Three Filipino non-resident workers may have suffered from a heatstroke on Saturday which resulted in them fainting while resting at noon.
According to reports, the workers were on duty when they suddenly collapsed during their lunch break along the driveway opposite the laundry room of the public hospital.
The three were sent to the Conde S. Januário Hospital immediately after the hospital security guard found them.
The migrant workers, aged between 25 and 30, were cleaners at the public hospital.
Authorities have not ruled out the possibility of heatstroke.
One of them required an emergency rescue, while the other two were in a stable condition.
On Saturday, Macao Meteorological and Geophysical Bureau registered a maximum temperature of 33.3 degrees Celsius.
Whether the incident can really be attributed to heatstroke is still under investigation.
Some people may find it slightly more difficult to breathe while wearing a mask, especially during this time.
However, health authorities have previously addressed this fact, noting that it does not think that it would be life-threatening.
“Members of the public should not be worried about wearing masks in the summer,” Lo Iek Long, medical director of the public hospital said. “Suffering heat stroke due to mask wearing should also be unlikely.” LV
