Heat

Even during heat waves, we must continue to protect ourselves and our community from COVID-19. Stay home when possible. If it feels too hot in your home, seek cooler temperatures while keeping at least 6 feet away from people not in your household. Check on neighbors, friends, and relatives, especially older adults and those with disabilities and access and functional needs. Other protective measures against COVID-19 and heat include: 

  • Cover your mouth and nose with a mask, handkerchief, or scarf
  • Wash your hands frequently
  • Call 9-1-1 if someone has symptoms of heat stroke – even if SF hospitals have a surge of COVID-19 patients.
  • Untreated heat stroke can quickly damage the brain, heart, and kidneys. The chance of serious complications and death increase the longer treatment is delayed
  • Drink plenty of water
  • Wear light clothing
  • Stay inside in a cool place, if possible
  • Wear a hat if you must go outside 
  • Avoid strenuous activity
  • Prepare for the heat by pulling shades down during the day and keeping windows open at night
  • Use damp cloths on your neck, head and chest to cool down 
  • Please do not leave animals and any vulnerable individuals in a hot home or car without supervision
