Please keep it↓

03 Low temperature, rain and snow weather, these key groups please pay attention to their health

Experts said that there are three key groups of people who need special protection, including sensitive groups, such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, etc.; people with underlying diseases and mobility difficulties, such as cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease, diabetes and kidney disease patients, etc.; specific occupational groups, such as drivers, couriers, deliverymen and other outdoor workers.

Experts recommend that sensitive people and patients with underlying diseases avoid prolonged exposure to low temperatures and maintain contact with relatives, friends and neighbors; children should add or remove clothing as appropriate during outdoor activities, and outdoor workers should wear warm and waterproof clothing to protect parts of the body that are prone to frostbite; the public should use indoor heating facilities correctly and provide adequate ventilation to prevent fires and carbon monoxide poisoning; take anti-slip measures when going out, drive safely and avoid sleeping on the streets while drunk; patients with underlying diseases should take medications regularly as prescribed by their doctors to ensure adequate stocks of commonly used medicines.

03 Things to note when traveling in windy weather

1. Avoid the “narrow channel effect”

When walking or riding a bike, avoid walking in narrow passages between high-rise buildings, because narrow passages will form a "narrow tube effect", and the wind force will increase in the passage, thus posing certain dangers to pedestrians.

2. Be careful of falling objects

Billboards, old trees, falling objects from high altitudes, etc. may fall and break in windy weather, posing a danger to pedestrians. When parking, it is best to park away from large trees, billboards, tall buildings, etc.

3. Drive carefully

Drivers' visual and auditory visibility is reduced on windy days, so they should concentrate when driving, pay close attention to the movements of pedestrians, and roll up the windows as tight as possible to prevent sand and dust from flying into the cab and affecting driving.

4. Try to avoid riding bicycles

In windy weather, riding with or against the wind may cause you to be blown down by the wind and cause physical injury. At the same time, you should always look carefully and not rush when riding or crossing the road.
