The body's protection against infections, including against the new coronavirus, may temporarily decrease due to hypothermia associated with sudden changes in temperature. The Federal Service for Supervision of Consumer Rights Protection and Human Welfare was warned about this, RIA Novosti reports.
"Rospotrebnadzor reminds that hypothermia associated with sudden temperature changes in the autumn-winter period can temporarily reduce the body's defenses against respiratory infections, including COVID-19," the message says.
The department urged the Russians to monitor compliance with the temperature regime in the premises, pay attention to the health and functioning of heating systems, the efficiency of heating and heating equipment.
Earlier, family doctor Aleksey Dobrovolsky drew attention to the fact that with the onset of cold weather it is important to prevent hypothermia - for this, it is necessary to rationally approach the choice of clothes. It's important to dress for the weather, but he says it's better to wear two small sweaters than one thick one.
