• Protect yourself from the sun by staying in the shade, avoiding direct sun mid-day, wearing a hat and protective clothing, using sunscreen, and wearing UV-protective eyewear.
• Seek cooler, breezier areas when outdoors, such as large parks near to water with lots of trees. 
• Stay hydrated – drink water regularly, even more than you think you need.
• Take it slow with outdoor activities – rest and relax often if you feel fatigued.
• Avoid crowded spaces and maintain a 2-meter distance from others as much as possible.
• NEVER leave children or pets alone in a parked car. Temperatures can rise rapidly in enclosed vehicles, becoming much hotter than the outdoor temperature. 

• Make your home as comfortable as possible.
• Close blinds and shutters during the daytime and open them at night.  Open your windows at night to let in cooler air. If you have children in your home, make sure you’ve taken precautions to prevent falls from windows and balconies. 
• If you have air conditioning, use it to take the edge off indoor heat -- but don’t over-cool and remember that circulation of fresh air is important for reducing COVID-19 risk.
• If you don’t have air-conditioning, take shelter in the coolest room in your home and use a fan. Blowing a fan across a pan of ice water can create a cool breeze. 
• Cool showers and misting yourself and your clothing with cool water will help keep you from overheating
• Stay hydrated---drink water regularly, even more that you think you need.
• Relatives, friends, and neighbours should check in regularly with vulnerable people by phone or video.

Stay in tune with your body
