Health Ministry issues advisory ahead of ‘extreme’ heat wave

The Health Ministry is urging Israelis to stay cool and hydrated during an “extreme” heat wave expected to blanket the country in the coming days.

With the mercury set to climb above seasonal averages in most parts of the country, the ministry says Israelis should avoid sun exposure and unnecessary physical activity, while drinking lots of water and spending time in air conditioned locations.

The ministry also stresses that the indoor mask mandate remains in effect, for those heeding its advice to stay inside with the AC on.
