The heat situation is getting worse.

This, after a 22-year-old also died from a heat-related illness in February. 

The agency adds that the rising trend in such illnesses is concerning, with 37 cases recorded so far. 

While some individuals have received treatment and recovered, two cases remain under hospital care, including one heat stroke patient in the ICU.
