Dangerous bodies of water

June 14, 2022

According to operational data from OSVOD, 20 people drowned last week.

Operational reports include people of different ages, different levels of wealth, and different attitudes towards life. Investigators and experts are establishing the exact causes of all tragedies. However, in most cases, even eyewitness accounts are enough to understand how events could have unfolded: alcohol consumption, a desire to show off excellent physical abilities, clumsiness. In general terms, it is a disregard for basic safety measures.

Rescuers from the Ministry of Emergency Situations and OSVOD remind you:
- swimming at unequipped beaches is dangerous!
- it is unacceptable to consume alcohol, even in small doses, while relaxing!
- children must not be left unattended for even a second!
- if someone is drowning, you must immediately call rescuers at numbers 101 or 112!

Please be sure to talk about safety with your relatives, friends, or acquaintances if they are going to relax by the water.
