The Health Ministry says it has warned hospitals and clinics to make preparations for Storm Byron, which began to reach Israel’s shores overnight having battered both Greece and Cyprus.
The ministry says that the parents of babies and young children, along with the elderly, should take particular care amid the wintry conditions.
The ministry also warns the public to try and stay active and warm indoors. Additionally, they should arrange to visit the elderly who are living alone at least once a day, and be on the lookout for cases of hypothermia.
