To avoid exposure, the Delhi Health Department added that people should “avoid places with high air pollution such as slow and congested traffic routes, areas near polluting industries, construction/demolition sites, etc.”

The advisory also said people should avoid physical exercise such as walking outdoors in the morning and late evening, jogging and running, “particularly during days when AQI is high.”
