This was revealed via a joint statement from the National Center for Public Health and Pharmaceuticals and the National Directorate General of Disaster Management.

They wrote that regardless of age, persistent heat takes a toll on the body of healthy people, but chronic patients are at even greater risk.

In the treatment of symptoms caused by high temperature, the most important thing is to cool the body and replace fluid and salt.

Stress caused by heat can lead to excessive use of blood circulation and peripheral blood vessels, which primarily has an adverse effect on diseases affecting the heart and lungs, as well as diabetes.
