Italy activated a helpline to provide people with useful tips on how to cope with the heat as well as information about social and health services available around the country.
The 1500 number, which was used to offer citizens information during the covid pandemic, will be active every day from 08.00 to 20.00, health minister Orazio Schillaci announced.
The helpline is added to the information already offered by the health ministry including daily updates as well as advice on how people can protect themselves from the heat, such as staying indoors during the hottest hours and drinking at least 1.5 litres of water a day.
