MECCA - Minister of Religion Yaqut Cholil Qoumas admitted that he did not feel hot even though he was wearing a thick vest because the vest is an innovative heat stroke vest for patients from the Ministry of Health.
"It's like using air conditioning in clothes, we don't feel like we are in the middle of the desert. I will try this for all officers. Overall, this is really good," said the Minister of Religion while reviewing the tent in Mina, as reported by ANTARA, Wednesday, July 6.
According to the Minister of Religion, who is familiarly called Gus Men, the black vest with a hoodie is very helpful in the very hot weather situation in Saudi Arabia.
"This will be very helpful. Next year will be seriously considered for all hajj officers," said Gus Men.
Moreover, the average weather in Mecca reaches 44-45 degrees Celsius and it is estimated that the hot weather will last for the next few years.
In the 2022 hajj season, the Ministry of Health will utilize carbon cool technology which is designed to be a temperature-reducing vest for handling heat stroke cases for pilgrims in Arafah, Muzdalifah, and Mina (Armuzna).
The vest will also be used by health workers serving in the Armuzna region as a precautionary measure.
A total of 10 jackets have been prepared for officers, while 20 jackets have been prepared for first aid for heat stroke pilgrims.
