As the extreme cold that comes every weekend overlaps with street rallies, the health care of citizens is also becoming important.
In particular, the distance feeling temperature is expected to rise to minus 10 degrees Celsius, and long exposure to the cold can be dangerous, such as hypothermia and cold diseases.

The citizens who gather all over the street are all dressed in preparation for the cold.
Thick outerwear, gloves and woolen hats
When standing outside for a long time on a cold wind day
It is essential to prepare for the cold, such as
Korean clothes and cold-weather goods.
In particular, this weekend is expected to be colder than last week, and there will be many places where the wind chill will fall below minus 10 degrees Celsius.
When exposed to cold for a long time, there are concerns about cold diseases, decreased blood pressure, and hypothermia.
In particular, the elderly and those with respiratory diseases are more dangerous.
[Kim Ji-hye/Professor of Family Medicine at Severance Hospital: Long-term exposure to the cold now causes blood vessels to contract and blood circulation is not smooth, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease. Those who have a high risk of cardiovascular disease, such as blood pressure or diabetes, should be careful, and those who have a high risk of thyroid disease or hypoglycemia have a higher risk of hypothermia.
For this reason, on cold days, several layers of warm clothing are worn under thick outerwear to increase warmth,
It is recommended to increase the temperature by wearing a
scarf, hat, gloves, etc.
Choose the pants with the narrow bottom barrel as much as possible so that cold air does not enter.
For shoes or socks, wear fleece, boots, or cold boots to keep your feet warm.
Also, if you are outdoors for a long time on a cold wind day, the risk of catching the flu increases, so you should wear a mask and move your body frequently to increase your body temperature.
When moving indoors afterwards, you have to move slowly over time rather than suddenly moving your seat to reduce the burden on your body due to the temperature difference.
[Kim Ji-hye/ Professor of Family Medicine at Severance Hospital: When you suspect hypothermia, you can build a hot pack (hand warmer) on your hand, which is very dangerous. Rather, focusing on the head, armpits, and deep (the part close to the heart), clothes or blankets....]
The cold weather with cold winds will continue somewhat longer until the middle of next week,
Snow clouds are expected to form on the geomorphic west coast of
by early next week.
