New York City is advising residents to take precautions to beat the heat and is opening cooling centers throughout the city.
New York City Emergency Management Department and the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene advise New Yorkers to take precautions to beat the heat.
New York City opens cooling centers when the heat index is forecast to be 95 degrees or above for two or more consecutive days, or if the heat index is forecast to be 100 degrees or above for any amount of time. To prevent the spread of COVID-19, individuals are reminded to stay at home if they are feeling sick or exhibiting symptoms of COVID-19.
"Heat can be deadly," said Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan. "New Yorkers -- especially infants, seniors and people with chronic and mental health conditions -- should stay cool, take things slow and get help if experiencing signs of heat related illness like clammy skin, confusion and nausea. Pay attention to how you're feeling because the guidance you get from your body is important; please listen.
