To prevent heat stroke, keep the following points in mind.
① Try to take care of your physical condition on a daily basis. You can notice changes in your physical condition by measuring your body temperature and checking your health every day at a fixed time, such as in the morning.
② Avoid the heat as much as possible and keep hydrated before you get thirsty. It is effective to wear cool clothes as much as possible, and to use a parasol and a hat. Before and after bathing and after waking up, be sure to replenish water first. If you sweat a lot, don’t forget to replenish not only water but also salt.
③ Don’t put up with the heat, use the air conditioner to moderately lower the indoor temperature. It is a good idea to keep a thermometer in the room and check the room temperature frequently. In addition, when ventilating as a countermeasure against infectious diseases, it is recommended to open two places such as windows and doors, and to use fans and ventilation fans together. After ventilation, please reset the temperature of the air conditioner frequently.
If you feel even slightly unwell, do not overdo it and rest at home. Elderly people, children, and people with disabilities are particularly susceptible to heatstroke, so please be careful and be considerate of those around you.
