Beat the heat - staying safe in hot weather

It tells you who is at greatest risk of ill health from the heat, how to recognise when you or someone’s health may be affected, and what to do if you or someone else becomes unwell as a result of the heat.
Beating the heat and coping with COVID-19
Many of those who are at risk of harm from heat are also at greater risk of severe illness due to COVID-19 and may need to spend more time at home than they would usually. Others may need to stay at home because they are self-isolating or recovering from the infection. During the COVID-19 pandemic, its especially important that you know what actions to take to keep yourself and others safe from high temperatures.
