While it is required to wear a mask to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus, heat stroke is a concern. An academic society of specialist doctors has compiled urgent recommendations and called for them to prepare themselves for the heat before the summer begins.

While it is required to wear a mask as part of a "new lifestyle" to prevent infection with the new coronavirus, four academic societies of specialist doctors such as the Japanese Society of Emergency Medicine have summarized urgent recommendations to prevent heat stroke. ..

The recommendation is that wearing a mask increases the frequency of breathing, heart rate, and sensible temperature, which puts a strain on the body. I am calling to take it.

In addition, when ventilating the room to prevent the transmission of viruses, we want the air conditioner to be used frequently, avoiding direct sunlight with curtains etc. so that the temperature does not rise.

In addition, in order to get used to the heat during the current period before the full-scale summer begins, do not spend time sitting in the house doing light exercises such as stepping and gymnastics or taking a walk while avoiding crowds. We are calling for things to do.

In particular, elderly people living alone often have heat stroke indoors, so we want people around us to call out frequently.

Takeshi Shimazu, President of the Japanese Society of Emergency Medicine said, `` Because it is impossible to distinguish between patients who have fever due to heat stroke and patients with new coronavirus, there is a possibility that the delivery destination of acceptance will not be found and the treatment will be delayed, so please be sure. I want you to take measures. "
