Wear factor 50: Chief Medical Officer issues statement on hot weather risks

'Look out for others around you, especially individuals who may be more vulnerable to the effects of heat'

It is important to be sun smart during the heat wave, says Tony Holohan.

The Chief Medical Officer has warned us all to be aware of the risks of the hot weather as the mercury continues to soar across the country. 

"While people should get outdoors this week and enjoy the beautiful weather, it’s important to do so in as safe a way as possible," he said.
