Dr B. Ravinder Nayak, Director of Public Health & Family Welfare, said people should avoid strenuous activities when outside in the afternoon.
Do not go out barefoot, avoid cooking during peak summer hours, open doors and windows to ventilate the cooking area adequately, and avoid alcohol, tea, coffee and carbonated soft drinks or drinks with large amounts of sugar – as these actually lead to loss of more body-fluid or may cause stomach cramps, reads the advisory.
