Victoria warned of high thunderstorm asthma risk
Original: thunderstorm
Victorian authorities and local media are warning of a high thunderstorm asthma risk, ten years after the deadly 2016 Melbourne epidemic that killed several people and hospitalised thousands. Health officials are urging people with asthma or hay fever to stay indoors during storms, keep reliever medication on hand and check forecasts as the grass pollen season peaks.
Why now: Warnings of a high thunderstorm asthma risk coincide with the decade anniversary of the deadly 2016 Melbourne event.
