How to Stay Cool During Extreme Heat & COVID-19
Hot weather and extreme heat can cause serious illness and be life-threatening, and every year we see more and more extreme heat days. This summer, Cambridge--like so many other communities across the nation -- will need to manage and prepare for hot weather and extreme heat as well as continuing to manage COVID-19.
