Medical professionals are sounding the alarm about potential health threats during intense heat waves. Risk groups include older people, minors, expectant mothers, patients with chronic diseases, and workers outside enclosed spaces.
Key strategies for preventing heat stress include several mandatory preventive measures. Primarily, this involves limiting time in open spaces during critical hours between noon and afternoon.
Expert recommendations insist on creating an optimal microenvironment – providing cool zones, sufficient ventilation, and appropriate clothing. Regular fluid intake is extremely important, even in the absence of thirst.
Systematic monitoring for potential heat exhaustion symptoms is recommended – weakness, nausea, dizziness, and skin redness. The information campaign "Code: Hot Weather" provides detailed practical guidelines for safe behavior during extreme temperatures.
