Heat exhaustion is a big concern as temperatures across metro Atlanta reach near 100 degrees.
On Wednesday’s edition of “Closer Look,” Dr. Sylvia Morris, an internal medicine specialist at Kaiser Permanente, talked with program host Rose Scott about heat-related illnesses and prevention.
“The message for everyone is the same: stay cool, stay hydrated and check on friends and loved ones.”
Dr. Morris further advised that everyone should drink at least 8-10 glasses of water each day.
