Medical Assistance and Special Arrangements

醫療援助和特別安排

To address any health issues arising from the heat, a medical team will be present at each polling station with a medical kit containing essential medicines and Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS). Furthermore, for buildings housing multiple polling stations, pavilions will be erected outside to provide shade and shelter.

為了解決高溫引起的任何健康問題，每個投票站都將有一支醫療小組，並攜帶包含基本藥物和口服補液（ORS）的醫療包。此外，對於設有多個投票站的建築物，將在外面搭建涼亭以提供遮陽和庇護。
