First of all, we look at the risk of heatstroke. That came with the disease, Covid-19 In the summer in Japan

The first reason is "detention at home".
Due to the prevention of Covid-19 diseases Causing many to be detained but did not go anywhere The body does not move, sweating. Causing the body to not adjust balance The body is unable to adapt to the hot season. Causing dehydration easily

The second reason is "wearing a mask"
- "Wearing a mask to protect against Covid-19"Causes the body to accumulate heat easily
- and "Wearing a mask to protect against Covid-19"Causing no feeling of thirst Because the mask is moisture inside the mask, causing the body to become dehydrated.

This time we look at ways to protect ourselves. Which the Japanese doctors recommend as follows


1. Get enough rest In the right environment
2. Drink enough water (Should refrain from caffeinated beverages)
3. Always prepare 1 mineral water drink per 2 bottles / day for 3 days in order to quickly replace the lacking mineral water and minerals.
4. Eat a full meal of 5 groups, 3 meals to meet the needs of the body.
5. Keeping your body cool by staying indoors or turning on the air conditioner Avoid hot, humid places
6. Should always check the temperature in the room. Or keep track of weather information on a daily basis on the internet or television to always prepare
7. Exercise around the house or go for a light exercise. To get used to the hot season But should avoid from meeting, touching, talking with others To prevent the disease, Covid-19

Important point is
* Open 2 windows to create a passage through the wind Make the air vent well

* But for a room with only 1 window, open the door and window and turn on the fan to turn to the window that is open. To expel air to the outside For better ventilation
But it is recommended to fasten the chain Then lift the door a little better For security and privacy

Finally, friends, don't forget to protect against Covid-19 too. Wash your hands Wear a mask Avoid risky places or crowded places.
