Doctors are warning that this Arctic blast is extremely dangerous — spending just 9 minutes outside in some areas could reportedly be deadly., reports the Daily Mail.
Dr Alina Mitina, an emergency room physician at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey, told the Daily Mail: ‘In the ER, we see many cases of hypothermia and frostbite that were entirely preventable. We frequently treat individuals who went out for “just a few minutes” without proper gear.
‘This includes people walking their dog, going for a short walk or having their car break down. They are often dressed for a quick trip, not for prolonged exposure and are caught off guard.’
Officials are warning residents to bundle up, limit your time outdoors, and check on neighbors, especially the elderly and vulnerable.
