Heatwave tents will be installed in several localities across the country during the period of extreme temperatures. The measure was announced by the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations in the context of the orange and yellow heatwave codes issued by meteorologists. At the same time, the Chisinau City Hall announces that mobile first aid points continue to operate in all sectors of the capital, reports IPN.

At the support points, citizens will have access to drinking water, shaded areas, and recommendations for protection during the hot weather. In the tents set up by the municipality, people will be able to measure their blood pressure and, if necessary, benefit from consultations with specialists.

IGSU specifies that the purpose of setting up the tents is to reduce the health risks for the population caused by high temperatures. They will operate throughout the entire heatwave period, and information about the exact locations and activity schedule will be communicated through the official channels of IGSU and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Authorities recommend that the population avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, especially during peak hours, to consume enough fluids and to pay increased attention to children, the elderly, and those with chronic diseases.

Meteorologists have issued an orange heatwave warning for most of the country on Wednesday. The maximum temperatures will reach up to +38 degrees Celsius. In the Drochia, Râșcani, Edineț, and Ocnița districts, the yellow code will be maintained, where the maximum values will reach up to +35 degrees Celsius.
