The ministry on Monday recommended again that people should avoid exposure to cold to prevent potential frostbite, dress properly, eat protein-rich foods and steer clear of spirits on days of cold weather with very low temperatures.

It also said elderly people, especially those suffering from heart and respiratory problems, must steer clear of long or short trips, as well as crowded places.

The ministry also said that, as of December 14, public health departments countrywide and in capital city Bucharest are obliged to take all necessary measures, as to receive, select and hospitalize a larger number of patients during the period targeted by yellow code warning for cold weather.
