② As a general rule, exercise outdoors or indoors without an air conditioner should be canceled or postponed.
③ Let’s practice heat stroke prevention actions more than usual. Before you get thirsty, drink water frequently and wear cool clothes as much as possible.
④ Let’s talk to people who are at high risk of heat stroke.

⑤ Check the heat index (WBGT). The heat index varies greatly depending on the time of day and location. Please check the heat stroke prevention information site of the Ministry of the Environment and use the heat index as a guideline for your actions.
