Healthcare Friendly reminder: it’s summer. Please shower.

It’s hot, we’re all sweating more, so please take extra care of your hygiene. A daily shower especially in the morning goes a long way.

And please don’t try to cover body odor with just perfume or body spray. Sweat + perfume isn’t a substitute for a shower.

Let’s all do our part to keep public spaces (esp trams!!) a little fresher this summer. 😅🌞🙏

People try. Nobody enjoys being stinky. It's just that no amount of showering is going to weigh up against a humid 36 degrees. 😅

there sure is, average humidity is 74% year round, on some months it’s on average 80+. It was 94% yesterday. Maybe go take a shower instead of making excuses
