Yesterday, at 17:43, rescuers received a report that a man born in 1992 had drowned in a lake in the village of Korosno, Lviv district.
The body of the man without signs of violent death was pulled to the shore and handed over to doctors by local residents.
Since the beginning of the year, 24 dead people, including 3 children, have been found in water bodies in the region. The SES units rescued 2 people.
The Main Directorate of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine in Lviv Oblast once again appeals to citizens and emphasises that while having a rest near water bodies it is prohibited to
– swim in places not designated by local authorities and not equipped for swimming;
– climb warning signs, buoys, tanks;
– jump into the water from boats, boats, bridges, structures not intended for this purpose;
– swim alone;
– drink alcohol before and during swimming;
– play dangerous games in the water that involve limiting the movement of arms and legs;
– swim unaccompanied by adults.
All of these rules and recommendations point to the importance of a responsible attitude to water recreation. We must remember that the safety of ourselves and others is in our hands.
