Summer Safety Tips: Avoid Drowning and Sun Hazards at Lake Resorts

Summer, time for tourists, sunbathing, sunshine, and lakeside swims. But beware of certain basic rules that are often overlooked, or your holiday could truly end badly. An expert’s word. Just a few days ago, for example, there was news of the discovery of a German tourist’s body, who had drowned in the waters off the port of Torri del Benaco. Unfortunately, as tends to happen every summer, some unfortunate individual has died at the bottom of the lake. This, of course, is the worst possible outcome, but even the most eagerly anticipated holidays can be ruined over much less, if some common sense rules are not followed, as explained by the president of the Ordine dei Medici di Verona, Dr. Pietro Marcello Fazzini. “It may seem obvious,” he explains, “but a good vacation starts with a car journey made in the best conditions, not stuck in lines under the heatwave of these days.”
