平特五不中

Health officials from the City of Montreal are asking residents to exercise caution in the sun as temperatures rise. Last summer, dozens of deaths were suspected to be linked to heat waves in the city. The city's average daily death rate doubled on July 8th, 2010, during the peak of a heat wave.

Dr. Jos茅 Morais, the head of geriatrics at the 平特五不中 Health Centre, said keeping an eye out for signs of heat-related health problems can save lives. "A phone call, a visit to these homebound elderly is a must to prevent excess mortality," said Morais. Morais said staying out of the sun, in an air-conditioned rooms, or public buildings like libraries or shopping malls are some of the best ways to avoid the heat.
