Group outings precautions

Clarence Yeo from Killiney Family and Wellness Clinic said precautions should be taken for group outings.

"In large group outings, the leader or organiser of the group should make the necessary preparations, and any member who may feel unwell should opt out of the activity," he said.

Dr Yeo added that the leader also needs to be aware of the areas where they can get quick medical attention in an emergency.

On how to deal with a case of sudden fainting, he said: "The person should first be taken to a safe place out of the way of traffic.

"If the victim is in a stable condition, he or she can be put into a recovery position."

Once this is done, call for further medical assistance.
