In the near future, the low temperature and freezing weather will continue, Liu Ping, chief physician of the Department of Orthopedics of Liyuan Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, reminded the public: Please do a good job of keeping warm and anti-slip when you go out.

Take care of your head and hands when you go out.
In the next few days, the lowest temperature in Wuhan will be only -2, and it will be very cold in the morning and evening. For middle-aged and elderly people with underlying cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and coronary heart disease, cold stimulation can easily induce myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction and other diseases. Liu Ping suggested that the elderly, children, pregnant women, and osteoporosis patients can reduce unnecessary outings. Even if you're going out, avoid morning and evening hours, and it's best to wait until after 10 a.m. and when the temperature rises.
When going out, while wearing a down jacket to keep warm, it is recommended that the elderly, children and citizens with underlying diseases wear hats, gloves, and scarves to keep their heads, necks and hands warm. At the same time, it is recommended to wear a mask to reduce the irritation of the respiratory tract such as the mouth and nose by cold air.
Wear non-slip shoes and walk the "penguin walk".
In low temperature and freezing weather, it is easy to freeze in damp places outdoors, resulting in the risk of slipping. When going out, members of the public are advised to wear soft, lightweight non-slip shoes with deep anti-slip lines. Women should not wear high heels, platform shoes, pants, and laces should not be too long to avoid falling after stepping on them.
Liu Ping reminded that in the icy road section, the public may wish to learn to walk the "penguin step": imitate the penguin walking posture, slightly bow the waist and chest, lower the center of gravity of the body, feet and shoulders width apart, feet outside the figure, small steps forward. You can also spread your hands slightly to help maintain balance.
These places should be non-slip.
Liu Ping introduced that from the experience of patients in recent years, the places that are prone to fall injuries in freezing weather are concentrated in the places where there is stagnant water on the roadside, the intersection where the wind is windy, and the roadside in the shade.
In addition, waterlogged steps, marble floors, and tiled floors can also be slippery, so it's best to hold on to the handrails and step on them before moving on. (Yangtze River ** reporter Wang Chunlan correspondent Zhang Xiang ** production reporter Wang Chunlan).
