To avoid overheating during the day and hypothermia in the evening, experts advise switching from a usual clothing style to layering. According to the Republican Center for Health Strengthening and Mass Communication, such a strategy helps the body tolerate daily temperature fluctuations more easily.

Clothing Selection Rules

A common mistake is wearing a single warm jacket, which becomes cumbersome when the sun is out and fails to protect against the wind at twilight. Instead, it is recommended to combine different types of items.

  • a light shirt or T-shirt as a base layer;
  • a sweater or cardigan to retain heat;
  • a windbreaker or raincoat as a protective outer layer;
  • a light scarf to protect the neck from the evening chill

Indoor Microclimate

With the onset of cold weather, people spend more time in closed rooms, which leads to a deterioration in air quality. In such conditions, the concentration of infectious aerosols increases, especially if a sick person is in the room.

For disease prevention, the RCHSC recommends regularly refreshing the air environment both at home and in offices.
