Possible consequences
All of us are threatened, even healthy subjects.
The increase in temperature can endanger people at risk, i.e. the elderly, the disabled, people with chronic diseases or mental disorders, people who regularly take medication, isolated people.
In athletes and people who work outside, beware of heat stroke.
Look out for the children too.
Behavior Tips
Drink water several times a day
Continue to eat normally.
Wet your body several times a day with a mister, a washcloth or by taking lukewarm showers or baths.
Do not go out during the hottest hours.
If you must go out, wear a hat and light clothing.
Try to go to a cool or air-conditioned place for two to three hours a day, while continuing to respect physical distancing and barrier gestures.
Limit your physical activities and sports.
During the day, close shutters, curtains and windows. Air out at night.
If you have elderly, chronically ill or isolated people around you, check in with them or visit them. Accompany them in a cool place.
If you feel unwell or have behavioural problems, call a doctor.
If you need help, call the town hall.
Be careful: everyone, even if they are in good health, is concerned.
To prevent wildland fires, do not use equipment that could produce sparks and be careful not to behave in a way that could encourage fires to start (smoking, barbecue, etc.).
In the event of a fire, call 112 or 18 immediately and take shelter.
