Dear citizens!

When celebrating Epiphany, it is important to follow safety rules to avoid accidents.

  • Swim only in specially equipped and permitted places;
  • Do not enter the water alone – there should be people nearby;
  • Warm up your body before diving, do not drink alcohol;
  • Dive gradually, do not dive headfirst;
  • Stay in the water for no more than 10-15 seconds;
  • After bathing, dry off immediately and put on warm, dry clothes and shoes;
  • People with chronic diseases should refrain from swimming;
  • Allow children to swim only under constant adult supervision.

Remember: tradition should be safe. Take care of your health and life.

We recommend avoiding attending mass events and strictly adhering to the restrictions imposed during martial law.
