Greece has mandated a halt to all outdoor manual labor between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM on Wednesday due to a severe heatwave. The measure affects the regions of Attica, Eastern Sterea Greece, Thessaly, and the Eastern Peloponnese. This decision aims to protect workers from the dangerous effects of extreme heat. Authorities are prioritizing public health and safety amidst soaring temperatures. The restrictions apply specifically to physically demanding jobs performed outdoors. This is a preventative action to minimize heatstroke and other heat-related illnesses among vulnerable workers. Residents are advised to take precautions and stay hydrated during the heatwave.
